US double standard Policy: Iran and India

And nuking their own country would be the best way to go about that.

The Indians already have the bomb. Whether or not we share any nuclear secrets with them isn't that big a deal considering that our policy regarding Iran is one of non-proliferation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

We all know why Bush/America supports these countries over others, because they are friendly and supportive of US interests. It's just that's not the reason we're told, instead we get the bullshit freedom/sercurity line. And in that sense eriol is on the money.

Isn't the reason being given for why we won't let Iran get the bomb because they have a President who has publicly claimed the desire to destroy the nation of Israel? Do you even watch the news, or what?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I dunno maybe I've delved off topic but I was talking about a bigger picture than just Iran and India.

You mean like the picture that were Israel to be nuked that the entire Middle East and every capital city of every developed nation on the planet would glow for a thousand years?

You claim that it's hypocritical for the US to let India in on Nuclear info, when the actual information we're giving them doesn't aid them in the proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

"Under the accord, India gets access to US civil nuclear technology and opens its nuclear facilities to inspection."

Unless all potential nuclear facilities in Iran would be open for inspection, the Iranians would never receive the tech or the information on how to increase their nuclear energy program. Then again, the Israelis are already experts on hiding reactors from Atomic Energy investigators.

So either it is hypocritical that the US refuses to share energy secrets with an uncooperative power, or it isn't.

You are right, though, in that Minion's analogy was terrible.

How ya doing, buddy?

India needs nuclear energy to prevent it from doubling the worlds fossil fuel emissions and the world's leader in nuclear technology should do all it can to help them develop.

Not trying to one-up you, or anything, but I think the French are the world's de facto leaders in Nuclear Energy. We haven't built a new reactor since the 70's, while the French have a Nuclear energy economy.

It's ironic that Jimmy Carter, the president who wanted the most to lower our reliance on petrofuels ended up with the 3 Mile Island incident on his lap.
