India and nuclear power

i have to agree. i don't see any reason to withhold nuclear energy technology from a stable government that already has nuclear weapons. it can't hurt to improve our relations with india, especially considering the way most of the world views us now. also, if you want to look at it from a purely selfish standpoint, we could use the plants that sprout up in india as a result of this as "test" sites for new technology and safety standards, without the drawbacks of actually having to deal with any consequences on our soil. india has had nuclear technology for years without *knock on wood* managing to let it fall into the wrong hands and kill us all in the process, although there have been some scares with pakistan next door.

iran is a completely different story........
