Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Oh, yeah, apparently Bush is now going to have to strong-arm the US Congress into repealing this quaint law that says the US can only share nuclear technology with countries that have signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. I bet the Iranians will have a field day with that at the UN Security Council.

Detroit Free Press: U.S.-Indian nuclear deal swiftly rebuked (March 3, 2006)
India first tested atomic weapons in 1974, but it never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which subjects countries to international oversight of nuclear programs. U.S. law bars the export of nuclear technology to nations that haven't signed the accord, and Bush will have to persuade Congress to change the law for the agreement to be ratified.
