Shorting Treasuries: What's the Rationale?

Not being a sophisticate when it comes to the subtleties of finance, why wouldn't US Treasury Inflation inddexed bonds (TIP or IPE) be a reasonable place to park cash or, if the relative value of the dollar is dubious, how about WIP a collection of upscale sovereign inflation protection bonds other than the US. Currently, the yield on both is very good and presumably the value of these will not fluctuate much?
