I love the India trip and the nuke deal. This is Bush at his best–realistic and imaginative. The realism is acknowledging that sanctions weren’t going to get India to give up its nukes. The imagination is breaking out of the old architecture of non-proliferation in this instance, since India is so obviously different from Iran and North Korea. And also realizing long ago–Bush talked about the importance of a closer relationship to India back in 1999–that India should be an important strategic partner of the US. Now, he is making it happen. Bravo.
