India, U.S. to Cooperate on Nuclear Power, Other Projects

India, U.S. to Cooperate on Nuclear Power, Other Projects

The United States has endorsed a request by Japan to become a permanent Security Council member, but it has refused so far to embrace similar bids by India, Germany and Brazil, each of which have large populations and big economies.

U.S. officials said Bush reiterated to Singh that the United States understood India's desire for permanent membership, but would continue to limit its support to Japan because it believed a bigger expansion of the permanent membership might diminish the council's effectiveness.

In addition, they said, the administration does not want the United Nations to take up the Security Council issue at all until it has responded to U.S. proposals to institute budgetary and management reforms and adopt new mechanisms to promote human rights, enforce peace accords and combat terrorism.

HOW? How can people make such statements and have other people fall for them too?

I don't think a lot of people fall for these statements...most realize it's all an elaborate charade.

The ones who don't...well, they learn soon enough :)

The same way by which Islamists applaud 9-11 / Jihad and declare their beliefs to be peaceful in the same breath :-D
