Mr Ashok theory is ridiculous in that any one can have guns except criminals and further justifies that India/Israel can have Nuclear weapons and not Pakistan etc.
Why??
If we eliminate criminals or their access to guns, we do not need guns. when ever we need to fight, we fight with bare hands. Similarly every country should have the right to have any weapons they want including Nuclear weapons and necessary delivery systems.
Alternately, the world should get rid of ALL nuclear weapons be it USA or India or even undeclared Israel.

This will not happen because the Nuclear Mafia including India will loose the arm twisting stick they are using against neighbors and non-nuclear nations.
Pakistan became Nuclear out of the blue for defensive purpose only, which is not being tolerated by the Nuclear Mafia and are out to destroy this under garb of proliferation.
All present Nuclear powers became nuclear by proliferation of scientists and technology be it legal or illegal depending on who defines legality.

No country will dare using a nuclear weapon if it knows, it can be annihilated in return.

If Mr Ashok touts and brandishes a gun, I as a neighbor have the right to acquire at least a pistol. This is true for all countries.

World powers needs to practice what they try to preach. Every country has a right to self defense. Prime example Pakistan, if it was not for Atomic Bomb our neighbour would have destroyed Pakistan long ago.

Yes, nukes should be wiped off from the planet but again we as human race never learn from our history.

Have and haven’t has to improved. Once there was famine in ARABIA, do you know what were the instructions by Prophet PBUH?

He instructed all the Muslims to share the food. Greed has taken over the world. West, East, North South are not safe.

2nd WW only America has Nukes,within six decades 7-8 countries claims to have nukes.

All this noise about North Korea Nukes is a approach to justify going after Pakistani Nukes……..NO MUSLIM COUNTRY DARE TO HAVE NUKES….pls. ponder hard about this and puzzle will be solved.

It is extremely disconcerting to hear views like SHAKEEL’s that all self respecting countries should have nuclear weapons. What about the one’s that are not self respecting like Pakistan?

If guns kill people,it does not mean guns should be banned or those shops which sell guns should be closed. Its the criminals who have guns kill people, therefore we should make sure that criminals do not get guns easily.The same logic applies to the nuclear technologies, the rogue countries who have nuclear bomb technologies, should not pass it on to those who have war on their minds against the human race because of their distorted religious beliefs, therefore we must identify those nations first.

One thing must be remembered that nuclear bomb is not like a regular bomb which these terrorists could tie to their bodies and explode in schools or market plazas to kill people,it needs a delivery system like a supersonic plane to be dropped to be effectively make some damage,therefore danger is not from a terrorist but a terrorist state and pakistan and north korea most easily qualifies as a possible suspect states. Pakistan because of its past history of proliferation and keeping in mind that 1/2 of pakistan is under taliban control,one can say that USA,Isreal and India should keep their eyes on pakistan constantly and that will solve the proliferation problem.

Nuclear weapons are a must for all self respecting countries, they are required to help protect against the attitude of the western world.

Ideally the whole word should be free from nuclear weapons. In my opinion, the aggressive and injust attitude of Americans itself compelled many nations of the world to safeguard them with nuclear weapons. Knowing all that, they are still playing double role in dealing nuclear proliferation issue. If Israel is making a nuclear bomb its their right but if Korea or Iran try that, they are wrong to protect them. Why there are double standards for eastern and western nations? Don’t stop making nuclear bombs, stop humiliating other nations of the word. It will create harmony and prosperity among different nations which will automatically disapprove nuclear weapons…

Historically, all technological advancements have been adapted to military use, and nuclear weapons provide the foremost and scariest example. Non-proliferation was doomed from the start to fail. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two are dead.” Nations or other polities most often make war at times of accentuated resource stress. The out-of-control world population is creating the mother of all resource stresses, and the consequences will be truly catastrophic. There is no doubt that terrorists will one day use nuclear weapons; probably they already have acquired them, or at least the means to create them. If there is a reason for long-term optimism about the fate of mankind, it is not apparent to me. Some of the world’s best minds have stated the odds of civilization surviving the present century at only 50/50.

I agree that all countries of the world should be treated equally. When Israel develop any kind of nuclear arsenal, no country especially European and American do not raise their voice. If a similar activity is done by other countries and especially currently Iran, N. Korea, UN sanctions are imposed. It is a dubious policy and that should be stopped.

Actually everycountry has the right to reap the benefits of Nuclear Technology e.g. Power, use in health care etc. Infact a international system must be made to own or sell electrical power drived from Nuclear power stations etc. This way things will remain transparent and within control.
