Take a look at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article2368174.ece "How the West summoned up a nuclear nightmare in Pakistan". Behind this desperately worrying state of affairs lies a grand deception. For three decades, consecutive US administrations, Republican and Democra...

This is a fundamental problem of apparatus of political power.

Brihasp...
