Pakistan: sorry.
Iran: don't even go there--we will preemptively attack you soon anyways.
India: please take your membership, and welcome to the International Nuclear Club of America. Nuke away, my friend.
India's prime minister today said the civilian nuclear pact with the United States would not limit the scope of the Asian nation's atomic weapons programme.
The deal opens India's civilian reactors to international inspections in exchange for civilian nuclear know-how and fuel, but has been criticised by critics on the left and right as a threat to Indian national security.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told sceptical politicians that "there will be no capping of our strategic programme" under the deal, and that the reprocessing and enrichment of uranium--key steps in making weapons-grade material--would not be subject to international safeguards.
"The minimum deterrent capability" of India's nuclear weapons is "adequately protected", he said.
We just gave India a free pass to "go nuclear" as they please.
Just give Bush's people time; they will come to your region of the world and destablize it. Instead of bringing the region to peace, we have guaranteed future wars and conflict for years to come.
War in the Middle East is good for the War Hawks in the White House. It gives the rather Hitler-like "war on terror" a face and justification.
The new cold war is here, and it just goes by a new, flashy name: the war on freedom--oops, I meant to say terror. My mistake.
