INDIA NUCLEAR DEAL MAKES IT HARD TO CONTAIN IRAN

"... (Bush) signed an historic nuclear deal with India — "a Santa Claus giveaway," said the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — with little or no regard for its impact on the effort to contain Iran... How do you now go after Iran?
Unlike India, Pakistan or Israel, it signed the non-proliferation treaty. It has not violated the treaty, which entitles it to develop nuclear energy.
What Iran is guilty of is cheating — hiding some aspects of its program — ... But its cheating has been minuscule compared to Israel's, India's and Pakistan's.
That's why the Atomic Energy Agency report... is so mild: The agency cannot give Iran a clean bill of health but it can find no proof of a nuclear weapons program.
"India is more guilty than Iran could be," says Dilip Hiro, a London-based expert on Iran. "North Korea is more guilty than Iran could be."
