Perish the thought ! Indian nuclear >weapons are in safe hands. I hope you understood, I was being rather facetious there. I find such naked "preemption" dubious. Almost every "naked" attack upon another can be justified, seemingly, by arguing "preemptive strike". I too often rely upon sarcasm as obvious.
