RE:Iran issue
by Anurag Shrivastava on Feb 07, 2007 10:16 AM

By your logic - since India has nukes it must allow Sri Lanka , Bangladesh, Maldives and Nepal also to have nukes. Great nations do not allow threats to their nieghbourhood. For inspiration - you must go back to history and see how John F Kennedy handled the cuban missile crisis in 1962. Cubans were allowing Russia to install nukes in America's backyard and Kennedy threatened WW3 - and ordered attack on Russia and Cuba in case Russians did not withdraw those missiles knowing fully well that Russia also has nukes. Despite all the bravado - Castro and Russia backed out and this issue got resolved. Courage and convictions that they are right and doing the right things make great nations. Not parroting words like peace which befit beggars on the street.
