Critics in Congress say the United States is making an exception for India, which has nuclear weapons but won't sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
"Proliferation is certainly a concern and a part of our discussions, and we've got a good-faith gesture by the Indian government that I'll be able to take to the Congress," Bush said.
It seems Bush knows what business leaders have known for years. India is coming on strong as an economy and as a nation and should be given respect. The same respect as we are now giving China. We shouldn't be fighting our friends but rewarding them for loyalty and contributing to the world at large.
Plus with that growing economy they are guzzling oil like crazy. More civilian Nuclear Plants would go a long way toward weening them off of oil and might help the poor of India. Whatever happens thsi deal will be great for Westinghouse and other US nuclear power firms.
