well that should come at the end or after the meeting which is today i guess ?
Its New Zealand so by the time Canada comes up,the day is over in NZ. But I just realized that its a 4 day session. So we may see fire crackers any day. Dont get me wrong, but in my view, strategically, this deal is more important for China than for Pakistan.

I never said we were getting an NSG waiver or want to partake in nuclear trade with other countries. Nuclear energy/weapon development and maintenance is an expensive task, we do not want to do partake in deals that benefit others financially. We are a developing nation that do not have the funds to undertake such expensive deals at the cost of our populace. Appeasment is not our forte, we try and get what we can from a situation.
Good for India, I hope these deals fast track your countries development. But the real question is at what cost.
I must say your whole post reeks of envy and bitterness, but such is expected. Anyway, you proved once more that you people find solace whenever pkistan is undergoing difficult situations.
I hope this project does end up like the Dhabol plant where you flushed down a lot of money just so you can appease USA.
June 2001: Enron Shuts Down Expensive Indian Plant After Afghan Pipeline Fails to Materialize
**
Enrons power plant in Dabhol, India, is shut down. The failure of the $3 billion plant, Enrons largest investment, contributes to Enrons bankruptcy in December. Earlier in the year, India stopped paying its bill for the energy from the plant, because energy from the plant cost three times the usual rates. [NEW YORK TIMES, 3/20/2001] Enron had hoped to feed the plant with cheap Central Asian gas, but this hope was dashed when a gas pipeline through Afghanistan was not completed. The larger part of the plant is still only 90 percent complete when construction stops around this time. [NEW YORK TIMES, 3/20/2001] Enron executives meet with Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans about its troubled Dabhol power plant during this year [NEW YORK TIMES, 2/21/2002] , and Vice President Cheney lobbies the leader of Indias main opposition party about the plant this month. [NEW YORK TIMES, 2/21/2002]
They had their first meeting today, discussing usual guidelines and stuff..i dont think there is going to be much clash over anything, its all the media hype.
What exactly is US objection ? what is their official stance on this deal ?..all they want to get is more "information" about the deal. No one has opposed it, not even India
^^^^^^^^
So why all the hue and cry.
That's my point. There is no real objections to this deal by India except may be to build some pressure in the diplomatic arena since practically, nothing is changing on the ground. I still havent seen a single personally attributable formal objection by any big Indian leader to this deal. All news articles are talking about faceless officials and unnamed sources.
As I see it , it may become more of a jostling match between USA and China where USA is the established bully in the Nuclear camp and China is the challenger. The Pakistan deal is just an excuse.
From who?? Leave aside the members on this forum. Here at times a lot of us (both Indians and Pakistanis) argue for the sake of arguing
That above would have somehow made sense under normal circumstances, US right now needs Pakistan or atleast it cant have pakistan supporting taliban or putting hurdles in the reconciliation process. They dont have a reason to object to this deal, and therefore no reason to fight China. If your saying they will clash just for the hell of it so they can size each other up, im afraid thats not how superpowers think..Only us Indians and Pakistanis have that kinda thinking
I am referring to the ever exuberant Indian media and they coverage they are giving to this particular deal. It is not a topic of great interest in ours or the Chinese media whereas the Indian media has the deal coverage cornered.
Diplomacy is done to achieve an objective, in this case it is nothing but riling up the people for some unknown purpose.
