HELPING OUT PALIN #7

This is the seventh in a twenty part series. Click here for an explanation.

7. Do you support the U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Agreement, which would lift restrictions on sales of nuclear technology and fuel to India, a country which hasn’t signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty?

No. One of two things has happened:

1. We're getting played. The Administration, myopic about China and Afghanistan, is ignoring Non-Proliferation and has basically given India everything it wants in order to keep them "on our side".

2. The Bush Administration's instinctive drive to undermine the post-WWII liberal consensus hates international treaties and is doing everything it can to undermine them, even if it means giving away the keys to the nuclear store.

Whatever interpretation you favor, it's clear that if you'd prefer not to die in a nuclear holocaust, it would be better to embrace and extend the current regulatory scheme, rather than allow it to become irrelevant.

What if you prefer not to die in a nuclear holocaust, but rather rock out in the post-apocalyptic wasteland ala Mad Max?
