should the US congress support the India-USA nuclear deal?
468328
No they shouldn't.\n\nIf they can't be fair to IRAN about nuclear technology, than that makes them hypocrites.

Neither, I think the line is somewhere in between all of the party's ideas.  But, there is something I want to say...Republican, Democrat, or whatever you are, we should support our President and his decisions.  Even if we don't agree, we as a whole United States voted for him.  Now that he's in term, it's not about ourselves as singles-it's about us as a United States.

The President proposes, the Congress imposes.  Simple as that.  Hasn't changed in over 200 years.\n\nAnd "ditto" the homework remark of the first answer.

ITS BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES HAS NOW UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FUTURE BELONGS TO INDIA AND CHINA . THE GROWTH STATISTICS OF INDIA CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ITS ALL SET TO OVERTAKE USA BY 2050 . SO INORDER TO KEEP CHINA UNDER CONTROL U.S NEEDS THE HELP OF INDIA . ALSO NOW THE U.S CANNOT AVOID INDIA . THEY ARE ALREADY IN A VERY GOOD POSITION WITH INDIA'S ECONOMY VERY STRONG AND CRUISING AHEAD FASTER THAN EVER . ALSO INDIA HAS BECOME THE CENTRE FOR MANY INNOVATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY SKILLED WORK FORCE AVILABLE IN INDIA .\nINDIA ALSO IS A EMERGING AS A STRONG MILITARY POWER WITH ITS 4 TH LARGEST AIRFORCE . 6TH LARGEST NAVY AND 2ND LARGEST ARMY . \n\nINSHORT NOW IT WILL BE FOOLISH IF U.S DOES NOT STAND WITH INDIA .INDIA CAN BE A RELIABLE PARTENER IN U.S WAR AGAINST TERROR .\n\nALSO INDIA ALTHOUGH NOT SIGNED NPT , HAS A VERY GOOD RECORD OF NON PROLIFERATION NUCLEAR TECH. THAT THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED NPT.\n\nBECAUSE OF ALL THESE REASONS U.S WANTS INDIA WITH IT FROM NOW.

Yes.\n At present she is trying to divide our soceity by caste and religion politics.\nShe can damage India most adversely by espionage,i.e.by passing secret informations  to the enemies of India.\nCongress never thinks of national interests.\nThey want to remain in power by hook or by crook.\nNowhere in the world any foreign person is being allowed to occupy such important post.\nIt happened because we indians are \ncoward,\nhaving no self -respect,\nselfish,\nhaving no commitment for our nation and religion.

it depends on several factors like support of us and china.his chance will be bright if Pakistan and srilanka with draw their candidates.because of strategic agreement between India and the USA, the latter may give support to India.if India lobbies with other members of security council it is not an impossible task for winning

India's nuclear capability is very negligable when compared to the United States.  They have several dozen low-yield nuclear warheads (less than 100kt).  I don't know where you get your information, but I've seen nothing to indicate that they have ICBM capability, maybe MRBM capability at best.\n\nTo say that their military hardware matches up with that of the US is a bit of a stretch.  They don't have an MBT that compares to the M1A2 just to make a prime example.\n\nLet's not even compare naval forces, because there's simply no comparison.  The USN dominates the world's oceans, and the next 4 navies combined don't have the capabilities of the USN.\n\nTheir air force is fairly good, but still equipped with mostly older Soviet aircraft, such as the Mig-21 and Mig-23.  They do have some newer fighters such as the Mirage 2000, Mig-29, and Su-30, but not in comparable numbers to our F-14,15,16, and 18.  Plus the F-22 is coming into squadron service now, and is far superior to anything the Indians have.\n\nBasically, in a large scale air/sea/land conflict, the US would win.  Not easily, but win nevertheless.

India's deal?  Then yes.  This is from an answer I gave on a similar question:\n\nBy formally separating the military and civilian nuclear reasearch, India has giving the US, the UN, and the IAEA room to employ the Diplomatic portion of national power.\n\nNational power is dirived from the DIME principle (Diplomatic, Informational, Military, Economic). \n\nIn agreeing to separate the nuclear systems, India gave negotiation room to the US and the world, which may lead to regional disarmarment. The goal is to get Pakistan to agree to the same deal. By doing so, it allows the hostile countries to get away from an "all or nothing" position in nuclear negotiations. There are also economic benefits in this for both as they can avoid sanctions.\n\nIf this all works out (Diplomacy is the hardest to predict of the aspects of national power), then it could lead to an increase in regional stability and closer ties between India, Paskistan, and the world.\n\nThis also allows for more diplomacy than is possible with the Iranian situation. If Iran continues to isolate itself diplomatically and economically, other nations will have few options outside military force in dealing with Iran. Of course, seeing that they can maintain a civilian nuclear power system through diplomacy may make some of the cooler heads in Iran come around to negotiating.\n\nWith the dicators Iran has now, that, in my opinion, is doubtfull...

Considered That INDIA , PAKISTAN , and ISRAEL Are NOT ENEMIES Of The US\n\n(Israel Is A STRONG US Allie And India And Pakistan Are On The List)\n\nThen Id Say YES It IS Justified

US has more to gain from this than to lose. Firstly, being the leader of NSG, a new vista for business is open to US. Secondly, with this deal, it is possible for the US to keep the normally non-aligned India on its side. Thirdly and most importantly, US can keep tabs on India's Nuclear prog. and thereby bringing Ind into the fold of NPT.

Hands down a member of the Nuclear Club.\n\n India has never been a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It tested a "peaceful nuclear device", as it was described by the Indian government, in 1974 ("Smiling Buddha"), the first test developed after the creation of the NPT, and created new questions about how civilian nuclear technology could be diverted secretly to weapons purposes (dual-use technology). It appears to have been primarily motivated as a deterrent against China. It tested weaponized nuclear warheads in 1998 ("Operation Shakti"), including a thermonuclear device (though whether the latter was fully successful is a matter of some contention).[13] In July 2005, it was officially recognized by the United States as a "a responsible state with advanced nuclear technology" and agreed to full nuclear cooperation between the two nations.[14] This is seen as a tacit entry into the nuclear club of the below nations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelow is a list of nuclear nations.

Yes. They should continue it, despite US "Aggression"\n\nIt is not right for the US to dictate who can have nuclear technology in the world...especially when they are the only ones to have ever used nuclear weapons on people.

Yes.  Millitary action has to be taken against Pakisthan so that the terrorist problems in Kashmir will come to end.  The right person to take millitary acgtion is US. Only Bush dare do it. The only male President US has ever seen is none other than Mr. Bush.  Like he has controlled terrorism in Afgan and Iraq, he should step in Pak and control its nose poking activity. Then India will always be a trusted friend of US.

No I think its the other way around....India has been for the most part good to the united states... Pakistan is just friends... we do alot of traiding with.

North korea and china are danger for usa so usa wants a strong support in that region against them.\nIndia is the only country who is able to be a superpower.\nUSA now is no more interested in pakistan. Pakistan is not supporting usa now any more.\nSo according to the changed conditions, USA sees their benefit in the alignment with india only.

America has negotiated with every country on the planet at one time or the other. USSR, Korea, China, on and on... Have you ever heard of NATO, the United Nations, NAFTA?  \n\nNo; America is not afraid of India, it is just the opposite. They feel that India is a mature peaceful nation and is supporting the advancement of their nuclear programs.
