This is a country that refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty yet somehow warrants comments like these:
Quote:
The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog has welcomed a nuclear agreement between the US and India.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief (IAEA) Mohammed ElBaradei said it would boost non-proliferation efforts.

Quote:
|
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said the accord could "make a significant contribution to energy security... as well as representing a net gain for the non-proliferation regime".
|
Quote:
|
French President Jacques Chirac, who signed a similar deal with India last month, said the agreement would help fight climate change and non-proliferation efforts.

Grrr...are they all retarded?
Note this too:
Quote:

Under the agreement, India will classify 14 of its 22 nuclear facilities as being for civilian use, and thus open to inspection
|
So what happens to the remaining eight nuclear weapons sites? We're just supposed to ignore them?
And all this at a time when we are trying to block Iran, a subscriber to the NPT, from acquiring nuclear technology of any sort.
That's really going to help fight against Ahmadinejad's propoganda - can anyone else see why the average Iranian Joe might start to agree with their Pres that they're being persecuted over the nuclear issue?
