Tim P.S. - in case it wasn't clear. I don't find the "nuke nude" hypothesis compelling at all. At a minimum, it's a bad idea to base policy on assumptions that some other power has solved all your problems for you. It's easy to get burned that way. Sorry if there was any confusion. Thank y...

Johann However there is strong evidence that he did knowingly provide theoretical guidance to Soviet intelligence because he beleived in the deterrent effect of mutual assured destruction, ie, that the bomb would be less likely to be used if the Soviets had it as well. I too recall vaguely, reading ...

Tim I don't think Griffin was doing this for love of country. Maybe I misinterpret. I was assuming something much more simple - that people seek basic explanations to provide reasons for what they do. And like it or not, an awful lot of people in the world look at the Indo-Pakistani relationship and...

Tim 3. I suspect the statement is not one of neo-colonialism, but rather geo-politics. The argument that some states "require" a nuclear weapon to redress resource and conventional imbalances is pervasive in both academe and policy. It is used to explain the Israeli bomb (look at all those...

Originally posted by Ramana . 3) Why does this Brit Griffin feel that TSP deserves the bomb. Is it any old colonial link? I wouldn't read too much in his feeling Pakistan deserves the bomb. He is/was an arms trader (a seller). Generally, for them, it is not about loyalty to a country or love for a ...

Suryavir It's interesting that the media this time around has not accepted the Administration's viewpoint in toto, and has been (deservedly) harsh on Pakistan. I would be bit sceptical about this statement. Seemingly the positive part of it. For, it is quite possible that what is appearing in the me...

Raj Singh

Suryavir it is clear that the Bush Administration has made a political judgment that accepting the charade of the Khan apology and pardon - the barest of figleafs if one ever saw it - is the best political course of action because they do not want Musharraf to be destabilized. Now if Dr. Hoyt or oth...

The pardon sealed his fate.

This does make lot of sense. Actually, vaguely/sub consciously this thought did occur to me when this whole drama of accepting the guilt and pardoning took place. But, I could not put my finger at it.

Raj Singh

Sunil S

I acknowledge having seen your post, suggesting, to read Y I Patel's post.

Raj Singh

Suryavir So if you choose to believe Dr. Hoyt, that is entirely your prerogative. Newspapers across the US and the world do not share Dr. Hoyt's perceptions. It is not a matter of my choosing to believe what Dr Tim Hoyt has said or says but it is about the reflection of the thought process which is ...

Raj Singh

Suryavir despite the sugar-coated pronouncements that official Washington makes about Musharraf's support, there is no question now that most in the media and the security industry are very seriously worried about Pakistan. Pakistan is the world's number one problem is not just the view of ("bi...

Raj Singh

Suryavir this blind American obession with Pakistan - a form of Fatal Attraction - is indeed one of the great mysteries of our times. Is there any state that has received so much generosity and material support from the US and still continues to caused so much grief to the US, and the US still keeps...

Raj Singh

Sunil S The lack of a visible and meaninful punishment for this sort of behavior in effect tells the people who did it that they can get away with it. Is it possible that seemingly lack of visible punishment may have something to do with the timing? Meaning, time is not right for US to show some pun...

YI Patel So what's the point? I don't know, but if I were Tom Ridge, I would be jacking the threat level up to red or scarlet or crimson or whatever, and keeping it there for the next year.

Kgoan From top of the head, two instances do come to mind which show, relations between Iran and Pakistan had cooled down already or started to cool down.

There's no doubt that there were mistakes in Western threat assessment.

That is/would be a real understatement....

Johann Is it holding Bangladesh publicly accountable for the involvement in subversion and terror within India? Or do other priorities (such as the worst case scenario of Bangladesh turning openly hostile) force it to maintain a working relationship regardless? Very valid questions indeed. :) Absolu...

India didnt proliferate, Pakistan did.

SO who is a threat? India say South Asian pundits and NP Jihadis. Logical indeed.

India has not been accepted as a member of that exclusive club (nuclear), should be a pointer here.

Well, that is the situation as of now.

Raj Singh

John Umrao Now India is being brought into the equation by NPT jihadis and their chelas, Don't know if India ever was out of the equation. Even before Pokhran II, there was quite a bit of pressure on India to sign NPT. Going by the story appeared in India Today (in 90s, during N Rao's tenure), thing...

Calvin For the nuke nudists out there, please note that Musharraf did not say that the nukes were under GOVERNMENT control , merely that they were under "strict control." Apparently some slip up/mistake is here/in the above. For the part quoted (in bold) by Acharya clearly states.. He said...
