		<description>KEIThZ has a question! I am not realy interested in Indians post, a mob which is mostly in the habit of ransfering one crap published in a news paper to another crap from another news paper on this blog, a typical Indian habit which I learnt at the age of 16 about Indians. Once they have learnt to read and write, they engage in reading every paper they can get hold of. It is very difficult to identify if the guy is a liberal, conservative or a socialist. No sir, they all have demonstrated to Pakistanis or Pakistan sympathisers that they all have one thing in common and that is to take part in the hate propaganda against Pakistan and to collect every mean literature they can get hold of and place it as comments on Myras articles.

Now, to the question, Russia and America are in a different league.America has been found to cheat and therefore Russians insist on verifyable agreements now . America and the world should thank Nikita khruschev, who was on the brink of destroying most of today&#039;s America and as well as sacrifising part of Soviet Union. John F kennedy caved in and Nikita cooled down.

India and Pakistan do not have any peace treaty, and regard each ther as the arch enemy. Pakistan has no hostile designs against any other country, the enimosity against India is in the mind, hearts and the visceral system of most Pakistanis I have come across and Indian people, particularly the literate and intellectuals one not those of the orange brigade, never let go of Pakistan in the international arena any opportnity for blaming it for the resistance which the west is experiencing from the Arab world.

Can any one imagine who in Israel is likely to order a nuclear attack on a muslim land. I have already speculated too much. Any one with a normal inelligence can with stretch build a scenario similar to that what I have done. OR perhaps wait till another smarter guy publishes it in NY tmes or Washington Post or even in Hindustan times. Then we all would say, why did we not know about it? Both India and Pakistan are living with the risk of nuclear annhilation and know exactly the rules of the game. Adios.

		<description>&quot;If the would be opponent is able to know the operation mechanism of Pakistan nuclear system, it has automatically the upper hand. Let the enemies keep guessing. Pakistan military has learned the lesson that no ally is to be trusted!!!
&quot; 

- Rex Minor

So when the Soviets and the Americans exchanged information on the nuclear arsenals, rough guidelines on activation, etc. it actually increased the threat of war?  Wow.  Maybe they didn&#039;t get the memo.

I usually avoid your nonsense, because it&#039;s gone from borderline insightful to something that&#039;s quite painful to read.

But here, you&#039;re actually advocating increased tension between India and Pakistan, for no apparent reason or benefit to anybody (including Pakistan).</description>

		<description>shamanadil: &quot;Every day Pakistanis fight for their survival. We go out and never now when we will come back. We face terrorists and trying to defeat them. We have lost 34,000 citizens and 80% of our economy. Yet we are blamed for everything. It is unfair.&quot;

No one is blaming the people of Pakistan. Please remember that. We are all with you in your suffering. We are also victims of the same terrorism that has begun to affect Pakistan. Your military made the wrong choice in 1989 and it is now making your countrymen pay the price for it. To them, only bullets, missiles and grenades count and not people&#039;s lives. They like to defend territories, but do not have much interest in the lives of humans inside those territories. Do not take sides with your military. They are the ones responsible for today&#039;s situation. They were also responsible for the genocide in East Pakistan and its final separation. They have used India as the bogeyman and have fooled Pakistanis all the way through. If you want terrorism to end in your country, you all will have to fight your own military and cleanse it from top to bottom. Until you do that, your country is going to burn more inside and get isolated like a lepers&#039; colony by other nations.</description>

You&#039;re right. It&#039;s unfair.  But blame your own leaders for squandering every opportunity given to them.</description>

Well said. Let me advise those who are putting out well rehearsed and advertised propaganda of the USA for nations who are interested to acquire or others such as Pakistanwho already possess them. Nuclear weapons can also be compared with an empty gun, which is most dangerous for the one who carries it and for the one it is aimed at.

We know about the clever Americans whose nuclear armed missiles were found abondoned at an airport without any one knowing that they are nukes? Pakistan has this asset, the only asset which scares the Indian military strategists simply because in case of conflict with Pakistan casualties would include their own famiies and millions others. We in Europe equaly do not want any mushroom coming our way. We have not forgotten the first test by Pakistan which they were compelled to carry in view of Indian tests!

Every country has devised its own techniques to stock, protect and yet be able to release at numerous targets without expecting a Japanese type surrender or giving any chance for discussions among the civilian or military leaders. Navy and the airforce play a great role in this warfare and systems are usualy automatic,never mind what the hollywod films tell us different scenarios.

Let the Indians imagine that Pakistan defences are weak or guess incompetence on the part of Pakistan military and imagine about how Pakistan aims to protect its sovereignty. If the would be opponent is able to know the operation mechanism of Pakistan nuclear system, it has automatically the upper hand. Let the enemies keep guessing. Pakistan military has learned the lesson that no ally is to be trusted!!!

		<description>It helps that Pakistan has no effective means of striking at a U.S. target with the delivery systems it has. Everything is targeted and capability-limited to Indian geo-space.</description>

		<description>Strategic Plans Division headed by Lt. Gen Khalid Kidwai possesses custodial controls of Pakistan&#039;s strategic assets. Apart from that the command and control system, PAL(Permissive Action Links) and digital codes, keeping the warheads and actual weapons seperate, means Pakistan&#039;s nuclear technology is in safe hands. Additionally, the Army strtategic force command, handles long range ballistic missiles, nuclear capable warheads, delivery mechanisms and their deployment and launch during crisis. There is an elaborate system in place and no doubt should arise in Pakistan Armed Force&#039;s capability to defend, and repulse/retaliate any attack to snatch the nukes. Everyone, take a deep breathe, relax and sit back.</description>
