World Affairs Board - View Single Post - A high-stakes nuclear gamble

Non-issue, I don't personally view India as a threat. There are no serious religious or political reasons that would compel me to suspect that India would either use her nuclear arsenel other than in the most dire circumstances of self-defense, or lose control of her nuclear arsenal through political coup, theft, or sale to third parties. Pakistan, on the other hand, is a completely different issue entirely. While I have nothing against Pakistan or Pakistanis, per say, I find the prevelent religious fundementalism, political instability, and scientists willing to pass on nuclear information very alarming.

The same issue regarding the arabs sniveling over Israel having nukes: The difference is, Israel is not likely to use them on a whim, while Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Iran would be MORE than happy to smuggle one into Tel Aviv, New York, DC, etc. and kill several million people (I'd be willing to snuff NY and DC, if it wasn't for all the historic artifacts).
