India just signed a 40 billion dollar deal for gas with Iran. The pipeline crosses over Pakistan. Europe, US and andy other sane country has problems with Irans Nuclear developement. US looks to have closer ties to India. The MOST immediate reason is India's influence on Iran. The other is that it is nice to have a close relationship with the largest democracy in the world. The Nuclear technology exchange is one thing in the part and parcel of closer relations.
I see that you have come around to mine and the Captain's view of history with regards to Japan. I suggest you read about the Yamamoto. Japan's super battleship. Very interesting. It was used during the attack on Pearl Harbor...but was kept so far away to keep it safe from attack. They then basically kept it hid away for the war because it was too valuable to lose! They finally sent it down to Okinawa to deal the Americans the devastating blow that they needed to have an "honorable" peace. It never made it.
