Last year, Bush went to India and even though India has never signed the NPT, nuclear non-proliferation treaty, he cut a deal allowing nuclear-armed India to purchase US nuclear reactors and fuel for the 1st time in 3 decades.
Congress votes on this today
Is it not insane to allow this while at the same time, telling Iran whom signed the NPT, they can't enrich unranium for energy purposes?
Why won't India sign the NPT? Shouldn't we say 'No Deal' if they don't?
"The deal reverses 30 years of U.S. policy that, until July 2005, opposed nuclear cooperation with India because the South Asian democracy never signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and developed nuclear weapons in contravention of international standards."

Doesn't this mute our argument against Iran?
