Bush in India is lauding relations with India now that India agreed to a ‘histioric’ nuclear control deal while being promising access to U.S. nuclear technology.
Turns out that India will only put a few of its older reactors, 65% of its nuclear energy output, under IAEA rules.
All the juicy stuff, the heavy water tritium breeders, the fast plutonium breeders under construction and the enrichment and conditioning plants, short – anything needed to extend the military nukes program, will stay outside of any international inspection.
Essentially, this deal blows apart any legitimacy of the non proliferation treaty 170 countries have signed. Whoever builds nukes will be rewarded with further nuke technology and fuel if the civil part of the program is dished out to IAEA control.
Congress will have to agree to this and maybe, after the Dubai disaster, there will be some sane Republicans who reject the deal. But India has some strong support.
Resident UN maniac John Bolton says, India and Pakistan did legitimately acquire nuclear weapons. They never signed the non proliferation treaty and therefore did not break it. Mr. Bolton has no trouble with such countries.
Within that logic any country not signing the human rights declaration and other senseless documents would of course "legitimately" torture, kill, commit genocide or whatever may come to its mind.
Quite an interesting view on legitimate behavior.
