Iran is NOT in breach of the NPT - a NPT which is being blatantly ignored by Bush wrt to India.

And should I mention the various calls by various prominent people in the US calling for the murder of Chavez, or to fight the "axis of evil"?

Face it, the USA have not gotten over the humiliation of the 1979 hostage crisis and still want revenge on Iran, and have consistently behaved in an aggressive way toward Iran (remember how the attack by Iraq was encouraged and supported?).

Iran's words are often ugly (but not shared by all - see this recent diary by ghandi), but US acts toward Iran have been a lot more aggressive.

United Press International: Congress skeptical of U.S.-India nuke deal (March 6)
With leading Republican and Democratic lawmakers skeptical about President Bush's civilian nuclear agreement with India, a showdown appears to be shaping up on Capitol Hill when the administration introduces legislation regarding the deal.

If passed, the deal would enable the United States to export nuclear reactors, fuel and expertise to India in an effort to increase the flow of nuclear energy between the two nations. For this to happen, Congress would have to change a law that prohibits selling nuclear material to nations like India, which never signed the 1970 nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
