I’m confused. Bush visits India and negotiates a nuclear pact, including the manufacturing of energy and weapons.
President Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India announced here Thursday that they had reached agreement on putting into effect what Bush called a “historic” nuclear pact that would help India satisfy its enormous civilian energy needs while allowing it to continue to develop nuclear weapons.
Bush and cronies denounce Iran nuclear arms.
“It’s vital that the Iranians hear the world speak with one voice that they shouldn’t have a nuclear weapon,” Bush said at a news conference with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. “We absolutely agree that Iran must say no to any kind of nuclear weapon,” Schroeder said.
Iran says its nuclear program is meant to produce electricity, not weapons.
Why is it o.k. for India and not Iran? The U.S. and Iran have signed the non-proliferation treaty while India has not. The U.S. has not upheld its part in that agreement.
Not surprisingly, this is absurd. Again the U.S. is in effect telling the world “you will do as the U.S. says, not as the U.S. does because the U.S. is the most powerful nation in the world.”
