    Centre plays down Qaida's threat to India-The Times of India

    unfortunately, I feel like this is a real concern. India's always had problems with terrorism, but aligning itself with US in terms of nuclear means and supporting Musharraf, might make the threat more challenging and imminent. How ironic when India and Pakistan are actually on the same side for a change...

    Quoted: Terrorism analysts universally agree that India's growing closeness to the US may have put it in the crosshairs of the international terror group. The recent announcement of the nuclear deal would have sharpened the focus. Strangely enough, India's open endorsement of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is possibly the second reason for incurring the ire of the terror outfit.

    BBC NEWS | South Asia | Indian cabinet backs nuclear deal

    Quoted: The Indian government says that it has reached agreement with the United States on implementing a controversial civilian nuclear co-operation accord.

    that's a positive step forward. i can't believe that critics are still putting India and Iran in the same category in terms of a nuclear threat! this just enrages me...i mean c'mon - we are the world's largest democracy, one of the most responsible nuclear powers, who is fighting the war on terror and deals with terrorists everyday, while maintaining integrity and security to protect whatever nuclear technology/arsenal it has from getting into the wrong hands, and a country set on improving the economic, health, and environmental standards of its populace. How do we compare to a truly ROGUE state like Iran, backing terrorist activity left and right, and obviously building up its nuclear arsenal not for the sake of meeting energy crisis.
