India through the vibrancy of her democracy and the strength of her institutions has remained stable. Pakistan on the other hand primarily through the lack of a democratic culture and any stable institutions has always been a bit of a problem child. ----- Original Message ----- From: Leo, Ross To: 'iwar@yahoogroups.com' Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 7:54 PM Subject: RE: [iwar] [fc:Israel.prevented.atomic.disaster.in.1981] Despite "restless periods" in India's history (and what country has not had those?), India has indeed been very stable over the decades. Her neighbours, on the other hand, have proven themselves to be anything but stable. Pakistan is attempting to play both ends, partly to save face, and partly to keep the Taliban and their friends from taking up residence in Pakistan. Even in Middle Eastern Lands, playing both sides can get a person killed or a government overthrown without too much trouble. It is a shame that so many countries (including the US) have to re-learn that lesson so many times.

Perish the thought ! Indian nuclear weapons are in safe hands. The deeply entrenched and solid tradition of democracy in India has produced governments with a deep sense of responsibility. Rest assured India's nuclear programme is only a defensive weapon. Pakistan is of course a different case. Democracy exists only in name and there is a long history of adventurism as much by dictatorial regimes as by the few and far between examples of democratically elected governments. In any case Pakistan's duplicity in the matter of support to the Taliban and other fundamentalist outfits while professing to be a supporter of the US-led coalition against terrorism is now not a matter of conjecture but a documented fact. The sooner the US realises that India and not Pakistan is the long term bulwark against fundamentalism in South Asia the sooner the region's stability will be strengthened.

From where? Who was supplying these materials? Was the supplier performing a "legitimate act" in making these material available? It would seem they were not, since the facility itself was not. And if not, why would bombing the power reactor (plausibly legitimate use of enriched uranium) act to prevent the shipment itself and its diversion? Why not bomb the country(s) supplying the material? By extension, should we preemptively bomb Pakistani and Indian nuclear facilities? Won't we be glad? Later?
