The US House of Representatives has voted in favour of a landmark nuclear deal between India and the US.

President George Bush will sign the new bill into law once it is through the Senate for final approval.

Indian PM Manmohan Singh, who was in New York for the UN General Assembly, said India could now take its place in the world nuclear order.

I thought nuclear power should be available to all that had the technology. the US instead continues to dictate who and who cannot use it.
If this is not bad enough...

Critics say it creates a dangerous precedent and will give India the means to expand its nuclear power industry without requiring it to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty, as other nations have.

Why is it the civil facilities will be inspected but not the weapons facilities...?

In return, Delhi would open its civilian nuclear facilities to inspection, but its nuclear weapons sites would remain restricted.

"Oh look, their power station is safe, so thier weapons facility must be OK then..?!??!"

Why doesn't Iran get this option?
