The deal, Burns tells TIME, also establishes "an important strategic friendship with India" that will benefit the U.S "for the next 50 years." In a Wheeling, W.Va., speech Wednesday, Bush gave another rationale for the agreement, arguing "it's in our interest that India use nuclear power to power their economic growth." That way, he argued, India would consume less...
