Sire if you follow the logic of what is the use then there is nothing needed in the world. The nukes are gained to demonstrate who is powerful. A bargaining tool to join the Elite Class. And the rule is simple : Either dont aspire and be ascetic, or be ready to compete and compete real hard! If you ask MHO I would say do both: Be strong and compete and then be ascetic. For a change this article hits the point home brutally: I feel ashamed of talking to chinese now as I come to realize that how much power do they have to even condemn the US and warn it. Their elite status is reflected in the seat in UN as a permanent member. Do we not feel ashamed of it. But I guess we do not have time ... we have other imp issues to fight for... northi southi, hindu muslim or yadav gujjar, and the list continues ....
I do not realize what kind of indian talks about the deal with US ... two options come to my mind : either there is a genuine misperception that there is no big small in the world ... and assume that US believes in this (sab barabar hain) ... Living in US for last couple of years if there is anything they are not willing to be is equal to anyone in the rest of the world ... so that does not look to be true ... the only other option seems to be that we are ready to sell ourself ... our freedom to retest, and compromise our nuclear capabilities ... and this is based ont the previous agreement that hey be friends with equals .... so if we want to be friends with US or anyone ... lets first be equal to them .... Fire daily monthly or however soon one can and develop the capability that puts the chill in the heart of the US/ china or whosover and then we will talk abt peace and all that stuff .... do not take one's laziness and cowardice to be a sign of peacefulness .... be cautious of one's own actions !!
