...shape of U.S. policy decisions, however, remains uni-dimensional and flat and, much in the same way that that the recent obsession with normalizing trade relations with China has marginalized concerns over the justness of the Chinese government, the enduring drive to box India into nuclear submission has marginalized U.S. interests in the justness and equality of the Indian state.

In the view of the less partisan members of TIME's board, the answer is, neither. But the competing plans pose quite different answers to the question of how best to distribute the benefits--or more bluntly, to that fundamental political question, Who gets what...
