Its not hard to see the point. And there are a few. According to the article US law prohibits sharing nuke info w/ countries that have not signed the treaty, so you have that nutty "legal" point for starters. And if i'm not mistaken, there is little love lost between Pakistan and India... to the point of a nuke arms race between the two. And, as my earlier post noted... And they say it sends the wrong signal to leaders of North Korea and Iran, who have snubbed their noses at international calls to halt their nuclear weapons programs. And if i'm not mistaken, the US is trying to halt the nuke programs of NK and Iran. And at this point it time, with our admin repeatedly warning about WMDs falling into terrorist hands, i find it peculiar that they find it necessary to share nuke technology w/ anyone.


American law prohibits the U.S. from sharing its nuclear technology with nations that have not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty

>India has the bomb. Nobody wanted them to have it, but they made one anyway. Pakistan has the bomb. Nobody wanted them to build one either. So far they've threatened each other with them, which is scary, but by engaging at least one side in dialog hopefully we can get a little leverage to keep the bombs in their holes. It may not work, the treaty may be fatally flawed, but it is better than nothing.

>Iran does NOT need nuclear power. They have a policy of supporting terror organizations, have declared war on us at least once (although nobody took them seriously), fought a bloody war with Iraq, and have publicly called for the destruction of another country. They are a threat, particularly to their neighbors. They should not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. There is no justification in the world for their nuclear program.
