Why did the US not do something concrete in the A Q A Khan affair when it became apparent that the ISI was involved.
What was the US doing when the Koreans traded missile technology with Pakistan in return for Nuclear Help.
Well like always US was busy safeguarding its interest.
This so called excuse of a weapon turning up in wrong hands has no worth for many reasons.
One being Pakistan already possesses bombs which they tried 2 sel
secondly pakistan is not really a stable country. If it goes down tomm whats the chances of its nuclear power being in safe hands.
Hence, this whole arguement of nuclear weapons in wrong hands has no value.

Ok so lets revisit one point. Outside of this man in Iran have you ever heard of the leader of a world country calling for the inialiation of another country outrite over religious edicts? Lets not count Hitler in this either.
This man fails to realize once the international community decides he will have absolutely zero choice in the matter. And more then likely a military strike is already sitting on somebodys drawing board and not necessarily the Americans if he chooses to ignore it.
The international community will not allow this man to achieve this weapon after making these threats and that you can be assured of. He may build it and hide it. But there will be those watching for that opertune moment to strike. All of his saber rattling will make him look foolish when the smoke clears and his country is damaged not just infastructure wise but face wise in the international community.
What was the US doing when the Koreans traded missile technology with Pakistan in return for Nuclear Help.
What could it do trading technology is one thing building one for another country is something completely different. Pakistan took care of Khan. We do attempt to work together with Pakistan although we have had troubles on both sides. On top of that Kim never threatened another county especially over something religion based which has the world excited over this because of terrorism. And as you may have noticed not only is he quiet no but also sits at the bargaining table these days.
Well like always US was busy safeguarding its interest.
Unfortunately Gautam all of the troubles in the world land on our presidents desk wether we like it or not. We didnt ask for it. It somehow turns out that way. Trust me I wish we would close our boarders and stop all the aid we give and take care of America for a few years. But this we cannot do either as we have obligations to the global community.
The argument of it falling into the wrong hands is a very important argument.
Have you ever considered the old adage " He who wishes to yield power is not worthy of the power he would yield " And "He who wishes not to yield power is its righteous ruler ".
We as men (as in the int. community which includes both me and you and everybody else) would be absolutely irresponsible to let this man gain the means to construct, threaten or detonate a nuclear weapon on this planets surface in the name of his religious beliefs.
I believe they should be granted nuclear power for peaceful means. But this mans means are very far from peacefull and there isint anybody that can justify what he wants to anybody except his thelogian keepers.
