Building a pipeline to Indian and a nuclear reactor to produce the energy that will go down the pipeline is ridiculous. Are you arguing that nukes cannot compete with $60/bbl for energy production? Here in the USA the pro-nuke energy crowd has been pushing that option at half the current price of oil. Developing the entire nuclear production industry is a long term project. Oil will most likely dip from the current level, but I can easily foresee that by 2010 we might be permanently above that price (adjusted for inflation). I agree that the major motivation for them is weapons, but if that is so, why does the USA not address more equitably some of the main motivations for them to acquire such weapons. Israel has such an overwhelming conventional military that we should address their nuclear arsenal IMO. There is zero chance of a conventional military threat to Israel from any individual or combination of ME countries. Thats a fact we can use to achieve some of our diplomatic goals.
