Do the Deal....Now and for ever!!

I thought I should pen down my views on India' NUKE deal with USA . Not that it would matter to the rotten politicians in India, but for the sake of my own understanding of the situation, may in future some day I would revisit this blog and validate my knowledge of India and the world :)

This Government in India has once in a lifetime opportunity as :

• It is already in doldrums, nothing to lose, at least it could get India some much needed Nuclear Fuel and the next generations would remember Manmohan Singh for some thing more than half baked economic reforms. If we got to die anyways, why not make the death a sacrifice ;)
• We need the fuel, weather the commies like it or not, the Truth is most of our reactors are running at 50% efficiency, and i think this is criminal considering that we are buying oil at $130 a barell and subsidising Saudi Arabia and Iran rather than out own poor. Yes you heard it right , we are not subsidizing the poor in India..we are helping the middle east get richer.
• Why care about the stupid Hyde Act, coz, for one its applicable to USA not India. Second, who wants Uranium for ever, We need fuel, so out scientists can concentrate on the Fast Breeder Reactor, which uses Thorium instead of Uranium. India has the largest reserves of thorium and if I am correct, thorium is retrieved from sand. ;)
• If FBR succeeds, we would sell the technology to the world and anyways, the world can not in any case isolate the second most populous country and also the worlds largest democracy over some stupid nuke tests, it never works that way, we need to damn break the shackles and well no one knows when we need Pokhran 3, do we even need it??
• Go get the deal, its now or never, and we have nothing to lose, as already the oil price rise has put the GOVT on the block.

Lets see, if we see some martyr or a lame duck victim in the next two months in the form of an Indian Govt ;)
