Wooing the Left

Whats happened to the hyper hyped Nuclear Deal!
For last two years most of the wood pulp in our country has been wasted published news about the deal. But any viable and feasible completion for the deal seems to have been perceived. Looks like moods swing on both sides are occurring very rapidly. In this flip flopping, when the Yankees are in good mood, the Indians aren't. And when we are looking to finish it off, the Americans are disgusted with something or the other. And there seems no visible end to this vicious circle.
Latest of the happening in the series of events has been the Congress trying to woo their Left partners in favour of the Deal. Pranab Mukherjee has been sent to meet Prakash Karat to push for their nod for the N-Deal and more immediately to complete the safeguards agreement with IAEA. But as expected Left has refused to budge.
What is still the hot topic is that what could be the pro's and con's of the deal. If it was that important it should have been sealed by now. If it wasn't , it should've been scrapped! Of course the deal looks important for a developing and energy starved nation like ours. We need energy, doesn't matter where we get it from. So the both the N-Deal and the IPI pipeline need to be hotly pursued. But somehow our government has failed on both these fronts. Only thing we can suggest here is guys get atleast one thing if you can't get both!
Perhaps they are waiting for Russia to build them an Oil and Gas pipeline direct from Sakhalin or somewhere. In there dreams, because Russians are no more the same old guys who would help you all out without asking for anything in return. They have completed the transition from being socialists to being democratic socialists.....

Gott ist mit uns....
