| After Iran, Pakistan? |
| 2015-04-12 |
| [DAWN] ALTHOUGH most Iranians are celebrating their nuclear deal with the P5+1, the framework 'understanding', once implemented, will effectively block Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapons capability for the foreseeable future. Hardly a week after the Iran deal was announced, the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... -- which often reflects official US policy -- editorially propagated that attention be turned to constraining Pakistain's nuclear and strategic capabilities. The issue was also covered by other US media. The NYT arguments, taken from the Indian hymnbook, were not surprising; the timing of the proposal to target Pakistain is significant. If the editorial indeed reflects official US thinking, it would confirm the view of many in Pakistain and the Moslem world that America's aim is to denuclearise all Islamic countries. With Iran neutralised, Pakistain remains the only nuclear-capable Islamic nation. |
