India's prime minister says the recent nuclear agreement with the United States will be helpful when his government attempts to boost civilian nuclear cooperation with other nations.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking to parliament Saturday, assured lawmakers that the nuclear accord will not result in a capping of the nation's nuclear program. Mr. Singh said the deal is key to opening doors to nuclear development deals with nations such as Russia and France.

President Bush and Prime Minister Singh clinched the deal during Mr. Bush's trip to New Delhi last week.

The White House is proposing a change to U.S. law that would allow the sale of nuclear technology to India. The legislation would exempt India from the U.S. Atomic Energy Act, which prohibits nuclear sales to nations that have not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

1. We've been discussing this disastrous nuclear pact

and how it would essentially open the door to the ultimate Pandora's Box, effectively nullifying the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, gutting the legal means to confront Iran and North Korea, sparking an arms race in South Asia that would lead irrevocably to an Indian-Pakistani nuclear exchange within a few years, encouraging many other nations (like Brazil, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Argentina) which have been hedging to go nuclear themselves, and also foster a nuclear black market which would invariably allow nukes to enter into the waiting hands of terrorists.

Of all the bad decisions of Bush's presidency, this is the absolute worst, bar none, and it must be defeated by Congress. We need a sort of trade pact with India, not a foolish agreement to gut the NPT and foster the global spread of nuclear arms. Responsible members of Congress from both parties must join to scuttle this foolish deal. If any Democrats in particular are even thinking of wavering, we need to apply crushing pressure on them to make sure they oppose the nuclear deal. To do otherwise would be to invite global catastrophe within the next few years. It is absolutely critical that Congress defeats this.
