Nuclear Paradox


Today the US Senate held hearings on why it should be allowed to sell nuclear resources to India, a country which has tested several atomic bombs and is not a member of the Non Proliferation Treaty.

Senate grills Rice on nuclear deal with India

'The Agreement And Its Implications'

Unlike Iran which has no bombs, has not tested a bomb and is a member of the NPT.


The controversy over Iran's peaceful nuclear program has obscured one point in particular: There need not be a crisis. A solution to the situation is possible and eminently within reach.
Lost amid the rhetoric is this: Iran has a strong interest in enhancing the integrity and authority of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. It has been in the forefront of efforts to ensure the treaty's universality. Iran's reliance on the nonproliferation regime is based on legal commitments, sober strategic calculations and spiritual and ideological doctrine.

Pakistan and India are still vying over the issue of Kashmir which set off their last round of nuclear show down. Both countries have deals with Iran and its military.
