Deal or no deal?

I have been thinking about this newkiller (nuclear) deal between India and America lately. I have been very confused about this just for the lack of details. This 'nu'clear deal is definitely new but not clear. The Indian Govt. doesnt think it is really all that necessary to go public with its views. The Singh Govt. has been acting like that for quite a while now.

Top Indian scientists and Indian public in general do not want this deal to go through since both in a way feel its a sell out.

Anyways, my main question(s) is, "Is India really interested in producing more power with this civilian nuclear technology deal or does it just want more acceptance in the present day world?". You ask Dr. Singh any question regarding this deal and pat comes the reply "We are acting in the nation's best interests". I guess he learnt this reply by heart perfectly backdoors, probably under Italian tutelage.

Lets comeback to the main question. It's kinda clear from what I gathered from various articles that the total nuclear energy produced wont amount to more than 10% of the country's energy production (not even 10% of needs). So, are we bending over backwards on this issue while holding a begging bowl in the front for something thats not going to contribute much to the nation? While this has been the question floating in many minds in India, its quite the opposite question thats floating in minds abroad. The opposition parties along with the nagging ruling coalition member CPI(M) have cried hoarse to no avail with regards to this deal.

Lets see what is in store for this deal in the near future. Will the US Govt. be able to convince their Congress to pass this? Or will it fail? The US senators are pretty suspicious about the so called third wolrd countries and their growing power. Since they have not read Indian history or know little about India other than outsourcing issues, I am skeptical about them shedding their reservations. How about the NSG? Will they be willing partners to this deal?

DEAL OR NO DEAL???
