Deal with India is about economics
Re “A nuclear deal, warts and all,” Opinion, March 7
Rajan Menon shines a light on a particularly glaring problem with the nuclear deal-making between the White House and India. As with nearly all of the domestic and foreign policy decisions from the Bush administration, this agreement has more to do with money trumping common sense than with foreign policy. And what American company will get contracts to help India?
When Pakistan and India nearly rewrote history with threats of all-out nuclear war, it was fortunate they both blinked under worldwide influence. Despite their appetites for righteousness and revenge, it appears neither of them seems ready to risk turning their countries into parking lots. Not yet, at least.
