I have no problem with Pakistan building and having a nuclear bomb. I have problems with the sneaky underhand way N technology was being transferred to other countries. And when found out, Gen Musharraf, in a cowardly act blamed and disgraced the scientist and has kept him under house arrest.

Just to clarify a few things:
1. Kashmir, the first killing and raping was by muslims from NW provinces on hindus and muslims in 1947.
2. Innocent Kashmirirs in “Azad Kashmir” and POK are being killed and tortured by Pakistanis.

When you talk of Kashmir, why do you so conveniently refer ONLY to the Indian stste? Be brave and honest enough to admit that there are other parts of Kashmir, where the human rights abuses are no less under Pakistanis.

Did Pakistan hold a plebiscite for the Kashmiris in the Trans Karakoram tract before handing over that area of Kashmir to China?

Why talk of Kashmir alone? Why do you not refer the occupation of kalat, to the killings of balochis by Pakistani Army?

3. You have only said who “tested” a device first. It does not automatically prove who had a N-programme first or built the bomb.
Nuclear devices are not built overnight. It does not matter who comes out of the closet to conduct a test to expose their nuclear might to the world.

My article how the Americans throughout their history have created their own enemies and then spent a fortune and human lives to deal with them. “To protect” themselves against “terrorist” attacks and a dirty bomb,have invaded Iraq, and plans to invade Iran.

The real danger to them are growing and building up in Pakistan. Who they call their ally. That is why I call them suckers.

You have emphasised that Pakistan has only been building her defense. I do NOT SEE YOU CONTRADICT that Pakistan has been persistently lying and fooling the Americans.

The Nuclear device that explodes in America will have Made in Pakistan on it.

@ We in India have seen violence and sectarian killings ever since the day of our independance.

Thanks for your posts, but just came in my mind to mention that who was the first to test the nukes. It was India not Pakistan, Who is killing Innocent Kashmiri youth in Kashmir. Pakistan is only doing these things to protect hereself from Indian aggression. Pakistan compared to India a small country, and cann’t afford to match the heavy defence budgets. Pakistan don’t have any agenda to be a super power but India have.
India from day one has always threaten the sovereinity of Pakistan. Pakistan’s whole defences are being built to defend itself and not to attack.

I fully agree.

Pakistan is well capable of
“we are going down let us take India with us”.
And if they do hit us with nukes, I do not think there are many foolproof anti missile systems that will stop them in flight.

We have to rely on the “Islamic bombs” being treasured for use against the Americans. And not “wasted” on us. At the present moment we are the smaller enemy.

America helps build monsters, it is fair they are the ones to bear the consequences.

I honestly believe time is running out on Musharraff,
which means time is also running out for Bush and cohorts
and finally Bush may well have his desire of finding WMDs on his doorsteps.

The scientifically impossible I do right away
The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer

We in India have seen
violence and sectarian killings
ever since the day of our independance.

We have had a fair share of islamic terrorism
aided and abeted by Pakistan (and recently Bangladesh)
The world has always turned a blind eye, because
the voice of the ‘muslim electorate’ in the west is stronger.

We are on the Al Qaida hit list.

As for Bush, I can’t believe he is still getting away with all this.

“Somebody give him a blow-job quick so we can have him impeached.”

I find,
since our independance,
the conflict India is suffering
with China has been over territory and political beliefs;
with Pakistan has been over territory on background of religion.

India had to go nuclear to counter these threats.
Had we not, we would have fought endless wars over disputed borders.

Pakistan still wants the whole of Kashmir.

Time must be running out on Musharraf
this time he is seiged from within, from Islamic hardliners.

Time is also running out on America,
the islamic militants are getting closer and closer to the Pakistani Nukes.

Bush went fighting ‘windmills’, leaving his own backyard unguarded.
