| Pakistan: Here We Go Again It appears impossible to get a straight story out of the Government of Pakistan. The other day a bomber on a motorcycle attacked a bus and wounded 30 in Rawalpindi, the Army's HQ. Government said the workers were from an arms manufacturing installation at Taxila, where Pakistan has several armament factories. Turns out the bus was carrying Kahuta nuclear facility workers. Now, that doesn't bother us one way or the other, even though it gives the western media another chance to make stories about the danger to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. Unlike the west, we aren't the least bit impressed by the handful of weapons Pakistan has, and we're becoming increasingly sure for a variety of reasons we cannot share that actually the Pakistanis are right when they say there is no threat to their arsenal. What bothers us that there just seems to be no story originating with the Government that is wholly truthfully. This is why we've been skeptical about the counteroffensive against the Taliban in the NWFP. There really is no reason to believe the Government. This bus incident is just one more reason we say that. |

| #1 we're becoming increasingly sure for a variety of reasons we cannot share that actually the Pakistanis are right when they say there is no threat to their arsenal. Inshallah maintenance by engineers who studied the abilities of djinns, perhaps? I learnt here that nuclear weapons need frequent and fiddly maintenance by highly trained technicians, else they become very highly polished paperweights. |
