This past week, amongst the chaos of the bailout and financial crisis, the Senate approved the pending nuclear deal between the United States and India, ending the boycott of India by nuclear nations in response to its refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. To critics, this agreement is a double-standard, favoring India at the expense of Pakistan, Iran and North Korea. For supporters it is simply recognizing the de-facto situation and rewarding India's cooperation by incorporating it into the international nuclear community.
