did you bother to read the article you linked to or did you just see u.s., israel and nuclear and make up a story to go along with it. it's not just the u.s. that is against nuclear proliferation, but the entire international community. this isn't a matter of keeping up with the joneses, it's an attempt to keep every nut case on earth from having his own little nuclear arsenal. the part of the article you seem to be ignoring is that the u.s. and india are asking for an exemption and so is israel. though i agree that nuclear weapons are a bit of madness we could well do without, they do exist and they are being held by both our friends and our foes. is it so odd that the u.s. should want to help strengthen its allies? what i find odd is that the u.s. is not backing israel's request. encouraging, but odd.
