Australia is poised to sell Uranium to India although India has not signed the non-proliferation treaty. How is that possible? How much is due to US pressure?

I imagine that'd be a pretty marginal consideration - although it
probably provides diplomatic support.

Australian government has always said they would not sell uranium to non-signatories of the non-proliferation treaty.

it's simply a matter of australian government policy changing.

I remember India president being received in a more formal and elaborate way than any head of state for a long time by the US president. What next? Australia selling uranium to Pakistan, that great other US ally? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That would seem remarkably unlikely - India is a fairly stable democracy, while Pakistan is a dictatorship with far less reliability, I imagine.
[/ QUOTE ]
Of course what you really mean is that Pakistan is Muslim while India is not.

That would actually be a reasonable concern to hold.
