The New USA & India's Nuclear Deal-2006:

USA & India's Nuclear Deal-2006:

India historically has always been suspicious of the USA's policies towards them as a nation. Several promises were made to them before for improved relations with the USA, but nothing tangible ever came of those promises. India developed a policy of 'Non-nonalignment with any country that does not approve of her internal policies of governance, and trading partners. These policies allowed India to trade with whomever it pleased. Thus trade relations with the former Soviet Union, and other countries with similar policies of non-alignment.

India has never signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and continued to experiment with nuclear technology, thus creating it's own nuclear weapons, without the help of The USA. Today she is a bond-fide nuclear power, and cannot be ignored as just another developing country in Asia.

The George W. Bush administration is telling Iran to co-operate with the I.A.E.A. for sporadic inspections without fore warning. And failing to allow inspectors to see what Iran is doing at her nuclear plants, is an indication that the alleged process of nuclear fission technology is underway, and cannot be allowed to continue without explanation, and proper supervision

This position is also taken with North Korea, and currently it is Japan that is facilitating such talks with North Korea for the USA, on these matters. The progress or non-progress of such talks is still to be determined.

This new deal with India has contravened the non-proliferation treaty agreement that is currently observed, as the framework from which monitoring and control can be determined. But India has never signed any such treaty before, creating a precedent for any potential country with nuclear technology intentions, to go ahead with their plans, and ignore any such treaty, or threats.


Will the US Congress approve such agreement with India currently?

The Republican Party has the majority in the US Senate, (the law making body). They also have the leadership of all committees in the House. And these committees are the places where all bills/legislation are sent to for discussion, accepted, rejected, or disregarded, before they are sent to the general floor of Congress for voting.

Because the Republicans are in the majority in both Houses, it does not matter who votes against it. It will eventually pass, probably with some minor adjustments.

So what happens then?

The gravity and total extent of this agreement is yet to be made public. But from the speech made by both The President of The USA and the Prime Minister of India, this agreement will help for the improvement and supply of electricity, to an ever increasing domestic consumption and demand in India.

I am very concerned with how the Irani & North Korean governments will react to this agreement, in terms of their nuclear intentions. In the coming weeks and months, there may be many surprises to be encountered from those areas.
