India becomes the exception to US nuclear ban

President George Bush has agreed to share civilian nuclear technology with India, reversing decades of US policies designed to discourage countries from developing nuclear weapons.

The agreement between Mr Bush and the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, will be an exception to the US ban on nuclear assistance to any country that does not accept international monitoring of all of its nuclear facilities. India, which conducted its first nuclear detonation in 1974, has not signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

There were some fears within the Administration that the deal with India would undermine efforts to confront Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs. There were also concerns about how Pakistan, India's regional rival and an ally in the US campaign against al-Qaeda, would accept the agreement.


I guess rather than seeking out WMD's that may not be there, the US will help the countries get them, so when they invade later they will already have proof of WMD's
