"What India needs to do about Iraq"

rediff.com

Excerpt :

"And why on earth should India actually initiate such a move, which would make it a target for American
hatred? Particularly at a time when Indo-American ties are on a unprecedented high?

The answer lies in the fact that almost every nation is fearful of American dominance of the world and
believes this proposed attack and occupation of Iraq could be the first step towards consolidating that
dominance.

The answer lies in the fact that every nation-state now believes the only thing America respects is
nuclear strength. The reasoning is simple, and difficult to argue against: Iraq is allowing UN
inspectors in while North Korea has thrown them out. Iraq has destroyed at least some of its arsenal
while North Korea publicly announced its plans to build more nuclear weapons.

So while Iraq faces war, North Korea needs a diplomatic solution. While the UN is treated like dirt
when it comes to the invasion of Iraq, North Korea is referred to the Security Council. QED.

The world can thus look forward to a mad race for nuclear weapons. Not just by tin-pot dictators and
terrorists, but by otherwise sober nations which hitherto had eschewed such weapons."
