Chavez requesting nuclear reactor from Argentina so NOW we support the IAEA

just prior to the summit of the americas... the buenos aires herald comments...

The media buzz over the request of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez for an Argentine nuclear reactor is probably the last thing the government wanted just three weeks before hosting the Americas Summit in Mar del Plata [Argentina], especially with the spotlight on the potential clash between Chávez and United States President George W. Bush. The position of the United States is not so much outright rejection as to insist that such a transaction cannot be a simple bilateral decision but must respect the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and other international conventions (the point seems timely enough the week after the International Atomic Energy Agency won the Nobel Peace Prize in Vienna).

oh, so NOW we want to support the treaty and the IAEA...! we throw our support behind whatever happens to serve our interests at the time...
