teevee will want to bomb India soon, in addition to Iran. Maybe also China? The rest of the world somehow manages to figure out how to move forward. Irony: India and Pakistan have nukes. ------------ Pakistan PM in rare visit to India: Pakistan's new prime minister has begun a visit to India aimed at consolidating a thaw in subcontinental relations. India increasingly looks overseas for energy to feed its fuel-hungry industries and automobiles and on the agenda for talks with Pakistan is ensuring access to petroleum and gas supplies. One proposal is a $4 billion gas pipeline from Iran to India, cutting through Pakistani territory. "I imagine that this would be an important confidence-building measure," energy analyst R. K.

"We have never been after the atomic bomb. We don't believe in that, in accordance with our religious belief. It has never been an option for Iran and never will it be."
