#2  To avoid international embarrassment Pakistan Government has kept this information under wraps.

I Hope the CIA were informed or is this another case of Perv's dirty dealings!!!!

#3 What a joke of a country. The Brits should never have enabled Partition.

#5 Question: would your run-of-the-mill nuclear scientist -- not nuclear engineer -- be able to construct a working bomb? Follow-up: would a Pakistani-trained nuclear science PhD even be able to properly construct the necessary calculations beforehand?

#7 I'd be more concerned if they were engineers with bachelor's degrees, but still hardly concerned at all. The North West Frontier Province is not exactly Oak Ridge.

#8 I had the same thought. Are they going to sit in a cave and rub uranium ore together? I can only imagine what a TaliBomb looks like.

#9 I think they may have seen the Star Trek TNG Packlets episode too many times. "You will make us strong. You will make us go fast."

#10 It is greatly true that the British empire did course quite some damage to the world, but it was a case of 'you don't want to be part of empire, hey' mahatma ghandi (spelling not sure on) was a great guy, but I believe we the British felt as though, if we leave India in a mess, (wreck the religions, mix the cultures, and divide the country) maybe just maybe they'll want us back... or we'll get the chance to go back.
So don't be too hasty in your judgment of the old Empirical dayz cos now we are going back. Well the US is and for the US this is a big opportunity.

#11 After a fashion, I do tend to follow Dev's line here, not just because he's my son, of course, lol!

"Wreck, mix and divide". Agreed, big US opportunity.
