France is doing the right thing but let's face it, it's a copy-cat maneuver. Why do all the Western nations always copy US, why did't they show initiative earlier? They feared potential US objection at first, but now they know the US is in the same spirit. Anyway let the deals roll now, it's been too late already. And while India gets it deserved dues, let the non-proliferation lobby finish their long overdue homeworks on China and even Paki,N.Korea,Libya,etc.
