According to the New York Times, the Bush regime wants to
amend the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Most normal people would think that if you wanted to change an international treaty, you would have to re-negotiate. However, the Bush regime has decided on a novel approach which means that they going to try "to rewrite, in effect, the main treaty governing the spread of nuclear technology, without actually renegotiating it."
The reason for this:
In their public statements and background briefings in recent days, Mr. Bush's aides have acknowledged that Iran appears to have the right - on paper, at least - to enrich uranium to produce electric power. But Mr. Bush has managed to convince his reluctant European allies that the only acceptable outcome of their negotiations with Iran is that it must give up that right.
Appears to me that Bush has been reading too much about how the US Government re-negotiated all its treaties with Native American Tribes.
