While I understand the writers concern, from an Indian perspective, this line is an imflammatory lie: "The objections to the nuclear deal on this score are serious. At a time when the US and Israel have been guilty of causing millions of civilian deaths in Palestine, Afghanistan Iraq and Lebanon, in clear violation of international law, an alliance with the Bush regime would be analogous to an alliance with Nazi Germany somewhere in the middle of World War II. " 
 
I am no supporter of Bush's war in Iraq, but all of the deaths in these countries caused by both the U.S. and Israel (while nothing to cheer about) pales before the fratricidal deaths the peoples of these countries (Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon) have inflicted upon themselves, and the total of them all still doesn't approach a million.
