Indian Nuclear Program

[scotchedpommes]

However, I have less qualms about India gaining additional nuclear abilities than many other countries, because they are a democracy, they don't hate us for supporting Israel to my knowledge, and they have China to worry about, too.

This kind of view, and the belief of some that particular countries have more
right to nuclear weaponry is baffling at times. None of us, including the states
that do not feature on international buddy lists, want to face annihilation. And
assuming a country that doesn't fit the 'democracy' ideal does launch an attack,
they would face a devastating retaliation. They themselves are fully aware of
that. To disregard that is rediculous.

All this is going to show the world is that if you are friends with the United States, well damn any international treaty. You can do what you like and still get rewarded.

This is nothing groundbreaking, is it?
