The US and India: Nuclear Power and Atomic Weapons
India defied the US and the rest of the world when it tested an atomic bomb. Now, Washington's agreed to sell India nuclear fuel and technology. The world's largest democracy is growing fast and needs energy badly. Will this be a bonanza for business and a boost for security? Will it mean the end of efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons? Plus, President Bush and the Pentagon discuss strategies for victory in Iraq, and former President Jimmy Carter's being called "cynical" and "anti-Semitic" for a new book that criticizes Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.
