Nueclear Deal
posted by Concern on Sunday, October 12, 2008
Hope most of you must have seen on TV,the videos of Bush signing the documents on the previous day ,prior Mukherji&Rice signing on the final deal.
Bush was with his peak of his smile.The way he was signing it with a "tapping" on the paper, and his body language, sounded like "I HAVE DONE IT FOR THE SAKE OF US" .
What are the businesses US looking for through this deal?
Have we something to rejoice, or to be worried about?

WHY IS IT CONTROVERSIAL?
* Critics say it undermines the NPT, which holds that only countries which renounce nuclear weapons qualify for civilian nuclear assistance.
* The accord sends the wrong message: it could undercut a US-led campaign to curtail Iran's nuclear program, and open the way for a potential arms race in South Asia.
* India says 14 of its 22 nuclear facilities are civilian. Critics say the pact could make bomb making at the other eight easier, as civilian nuclear fuel needs will be met by the US
WHAT DO THE DEAL'S SUPPORTERS SAY?
* US President George Bush calls the deal necessary to reflect the countries' improved relations. It strengthens international security by tightening US ties to ally India, the world's biggest democracy. It also ensures some of its nuclear industry will undergo international inspection.
* New Delhi, which relies on imported oil for some 70 per cent of its energy needs, says nuclear power will help feed its rapidly expanding economy.
* France, which signed a similar deal with India in February 2006, says the move will help fight climate change and aid non-proliferation efforts.
