		<description>Has anyone seen any news stories at all about this? Or have we finally reached the point where the profiteering and questionable ethics (understatement heavy) of administration officials don&#039;t even qualify as &quot;news&quot; anymore?</description>

		<description>Perhaps the Soviet Union and the US should reduce their combined  stockpiling of 21,000 nuclear warheads if either wishes to be taken seriously on nonproliferation.  Until they do that, it is realistic for any sovereign nation to want a few as a defense measure.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;I think lobbying is as good or as bad to improve countries international relations with powerful stakeholder countries as spinning is for countries internal affairs. Having said that, I think India and US can collaborate to fight against the terrorism Scourge.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;How is this not treasonous? 

Comment by Wordsmith â€” January 12, 2007 @ 6:33 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Because the &lt;strong&gt;politicians&lt;/strong&gt; in DC are &lt;strong&gt;bought&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;paid for&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;lock-stock-and-barrel&lt;/strong&gt;, by &lt;strong&gt;corporate facists&lt;/strong&gt;. 

If you &lt;strong&gt;rounded up &lt;/strong&gt;all the &lt;strong&gt;Congress critters &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Senator snakes &lt;/strong&gt;into a room you would &lt;strong&gt;not find &lt;/strong&gt;even the &lt;strong&gt;hint of a spine&lt;/strong&gt;. In fact, you &lt;strong&gt;wouldn&#039;t&lt;/strong&gt; be able to &lt;strong&gt;find&lt;/strong&gt; any &lt;strong&gt;cartilage&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;spinal fluid!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>this is a prime example why the average person has a real issue
in who they can trust whether it be your neighbor next door or
just an aquitance.

the amount detrement this kind of revolving door corruption IS STILL
going on..... and yet the same crooks get on tv claiming &quot;family
values&quot; while they sell out and rob you blind

corruption has a detremental effect on society and honest and
integrity is the utmost importantace of pulic servants.

instead we got a bunch of corruption that&#039;s common place

good enough reason to PUKE them out of office!  :(</description>

		<description>India is as likely to share nuclear know-how, as is China.

India is as likely to deal with Iran, as is China :

Iran and China&#039;s biggest offshore oil producer, CNOOC, announced having signed on 21 December a preliminary deal to develop Iran&#039;s offshore North Pars gas field located in Persian Gulf waters. 

Under the deal, the two parties will work on developing the North Pars gas field for the production of Liquefied Natural Gas. 

The investment will come from the Chinese side: 5.0 billion dollars for exploration and production, and 11 billion dollars for downstream activities.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;historically the Hindu majority India, has not gotten along well with itâ€™s muslim majority neighbors.

True. However, India also needs oil. Where is the nearest oil to them? In Iran. Indians can be very pragmatic too. Here are some interesting links: 

&lt;i&gt;Iran&#039;s state oil refining company is in talks with India&#039;s Essar Group to build a new refinery in southern Iran, officials said on Friday, part of Tehran&#039;s $18 billion-drive to meet soaring domestic fuel demand.[...]
An official with Essar Group told Reuters: &quot;We want to strengthen our relations with Iran. We are talking to Iran for setting up a refinery, based on crude oil to be given by them.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://in.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=businessNews&amp;storyID=2007-01-05T171230Z_01_NOOTR_RTRJONC_0_India-282403-1.xml&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Iran in talks with India&#039;s Essar on oil refinery&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Iran signed an agreement this year to provide India with liquefied natural gas over a 25-year period and signed a similar agreement last year to supply China with natural gas over a 30-year period. Both countries are in a deal to invest in and develop Iran&#039;s Yadaravan oil field - the kind of investment that US oil companies are prohibited from making because of US sanctions - while Iran presses to build a major pipeline through Pakistan to India. &quot;Iran is definitely looking East, rather than West,&quot; says Mr. Seznec, &quot;and that will matter.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0830/p03s01-wome.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Iran&#039;s oil gambit - and potential affront to the US&lt;/a&gt;

India is looking at Iran as its main gas provider for the foreseeable future. It is crucial for the Indian economy -if India is to grow as a regional hegemon- that they secure a stable flow of gas and oil. 

I obviously don&#039;t know to what lengths the Indian government will go to do so, but nuclear technology is definitely a great bargaining chip.</description>
