Playtime
@ Tuesday, Mar. 07, 2006 - 11:57:59Pakistan made their own, gave out the recipe then said no-one else can use it
Israel claims it doesn't have any
India pretends its part of the big boys gang
No-one's seen North Korea for ages and China's playing on its own
Russia discretely helps out the new boy but won't say hello when the big boys are watching
Britain and America, their own pockets bulging, strut around enforcing rules
Its like watching children in the playground arguing over sweets.

I am taken back to some political science class and a lesson on mutual deterrents. Basically meaning if you can annihilate me and mine and I can annihilate you and yours, then neither of us will press the button to do so.
Scary game used to keep one's enemies in check. I would love a world without weapons!

the old mutually assured destruction doctrine. sounded good but it was predicated on leaders being psychotic enough to fire them first if they weren't stopped. fortunately the evidence of history is that they haven't actually been that mad. india had a bomb before pakistan even had a blue-print, china was years behind russia who was years behind america, israel has been the only nuclear power in the middle east for decades.
