After roughly two years, the U.S. and India have completed an agreement which allows each nation to participate in each other's civilian nuclear energy sector. And now more than ever, I'm convinced that we just don't like Iran.

Think about it. Iran gets nuclear weapons, and the U.S. gets shaken up and an international hissy fit arises. India gets nukes, and we're signing them on as a normal trading partner after we failed to keep them from getting the bomb in the first place. Now India is still proliferating nuclear weapons, and we see nothing but dollar signs for us.

Supposedly the administration hopes to send the message to Iran that "if you behave responsibly in regards to nonproliferation...you will not be penalized but will be invited to participate more fully in international nuclear trade" (Nicholas Burns, U.S. Under Secretary of State). Behaving responsibly, eh? I guess responsible means not signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

I suppose it's best that we're not going to war with India anyways. After all, who else can we call when our Dell stops working?
