well the thing is that AQ Khan did work for Pakistan and had an important role in our nukes development... Was nt his role important in the centrifuge process...
He may have been trying to make money using his position... but the question remains... if the US and all these other colonialist and cruel countries possess nukes why cant other countries possess them...
Hi,
What do you think---did we not have american blessings in getting our nucs---in a way we did---!
The U S also understood that there needed to be a balance of power in the sub continent---but just because they allowed us to get the option didnot mean our guy had the carte blanche to to give it to someone else.
Ask your self---why does iran need a nuc----who does he have a problem with in the immediate neighbourhood----or why does Libya need a nuc---which one of their neighbours is bigger than them and ready to destroy them---none.
Then why did they need a nuc---only for the acts of terror---pakistan was already in a tight spot after the sanctions being imposed by the U S---what was the need for the sale by AQ----money and money only----he sold them outdated 2 class centrifuges---they found out----got pissed off and blew the whistle on him---that is one consideration---other is that libya could not handle the pressure from the U S anymore---Qadaffi's sons wanted to get out from under the cloud of sanctions---they wanted to give something big in return for the removal of sanctions----what better than their fledgling nuc program---.
I think that was a game setup by the libyans in the first place----the sanctions had hurt them real real bad---they wanted a way out---. Somebody came up with the idea---okay let us do something different---let us start up a superficial nuc program---let us buy some stuff from here and thre---there will come a time when the superpowers will look at it with concern and put pressure on us to stop the progress---then we will ask them to take away our sanctions and sell us what we need and we will give you the name of the people we dealt with and we will roll back the rogram and give you all the equipment.
It worked very well for libya----A Q thought he had suckered the libyans with his third rate centrifues----but the libyans got the last laugh on expense of pakistan's foreign policy.
Why does iran need a nuc bomb---for what reasons---to threaten pakistan----did A Q had his head up in the dark whole when he sold to iran---didn't he know that iran is no friend of pakistan but on the surface---.
Bottomline----a terrible terrible mistake by A Q----a big error in judgement.
You see---these things don't come out when every thing is going okay----but when some issues raise their ugly head---all the scum starts to come afloat to the surface.
After 9/11 pakistan should have understood the siognificance of what was supposed to be coming---hard and bad times with bad tidings---.
Do some of you think that we should have killed al qaeda at tora bora on our side of gthe slopes.
