Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 20 Feb 2004
In 1998, right after PoK-II, I wrote an op-ed for my local paper and got into a debate with a non-prolif person. I used the phrase "nuclear racists" for the non-prolif mullahs, and "nuclear apartheid" for the immoral NPT regime. What did those who practiced apartheid get called? ...

We are crossing an important milestone here. Remember asking why is the US media silent on PAEC? Well, Rangudu's NYT link above indicates that that line has been breeched.
