shahryar,
Sorry. Wasn't trying to imply India doesn't deserve nuclear power. I know they need the power and will obtain it. I much prefer nuclear to fossil fuel power generation.

Bush is acting inconsistently concerning France and Iran (and other countries). He is trying to control who has nuclear and who doesn't.
