NPT pretty much says other than N-5 no one else can develop nuke bombs and and incase a nation/Organization develops then the NPT signatories will cease all nuclear related assistance to the said country/organization.

To start with NPT is one-sided and I'm glad that India did not sign it. Now if Bush thinks helping India will add more value to his foreign policy objectives, then its his burden to get this through the Congress.

And honestly NPT did not serve its purpose, Pakistan being the prime example and China being the prime suspect. So all the hue and cry that NPT will crumble is just hog wash.
