Condition- Diplomatic Inertia.
Papillon or anyone:
The blame game.
India may be poor,they may not have toilets,may be 950 million people are starving,illiterate and stupid,they may try to hide behind their history for the present inadequacies,but they certainly don't go around declaring themselves as the the 'police man' of the 'ghetto people' and tell them what to do and act surprised when things don't go their way.You get my drift????
I believe aiding and abetting or simply watching a criminal act and not doing anything....... is equally criminal, immoral and unethical.
Have y'all got anything to say?????????

What China gave to Pakistan
Will U.S. missile technology makes its way there as well?
ANALYSIS

NBC NEWS PRODUCER
NEW YORK, May 28 -Of all the nations that China has helped with nuclear weapons programs, none has reaped more benefits than Pakistan. U.S. intelligence documents over the past 25 years paint a thorough picture of close cooperation. Beginning with India's 1974 nuclear test, when the late Prime Minister Zulkifar Ali Bhutto said his people would "eat grass" to catch up, the Chinese have supplied everything from nuclear weapon design to front-row seats at Chinese nuclear weapons tests - all aimed at keeping their mutual enemy in check.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿTHE U.S., IN FACT, has long believed that without China's assistance, the Pakistani nuclear arsenal - between seven to ten weapons - would not exist or be a great deal smaller.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿ"If you subtract China's help from the Pakistani nuclear program, there is no Pakistani nuclear program," said Gary Milhollin, director of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control. "And China is not promising to stop its help to Pakistan's civilian nuclear program, which means more training, more experience and the possibility of technology transfer from the civilian to military side."
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿ
WELL ESTABLISHED PROLIFERATOR
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿIn fact, as early as June 1983, the U.S. was aware of China's help. A State Department memorandum obtained by NBC News was quite forthright:
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿ"We have concluded that China has provided assistance to Pakistan's program to develop a nuclear weapons capability. Over the past several years, China and Pakistan have maintained contacts in the nuclear field...We now believe cooperation has taken place in the area of fissile [weapon] material production and also nuclear device design."
"If you subtract China's help from the Pakistani nuclear program, there is no Pakistani nuclear program."

ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿIt was a record of proliferation that helped U.S. policy makers stop the sale of nuclear technology to China seven years ago. Now, critics fear, the experience China will get with the more advanced U.S. nuclear technology it can now purchase could eventually wind up in any one of a number of places, including Pakistan and Iran.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿPakistan is but one of a half-dozen nations that have received China's help, often getting materials they could not get elsewhere.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿChina, for example, supplied Algeria with a research reactor; Argentina with heavy water and enriched uranium; Brazil with enriched uranium; India with heavy water; Iran with training for nuclear technicians, reactor technology and a research reactor; Iraq with lithium hydride; North Korea with training for nuclear technicians; and even South Africa with tons of enriched uranium. Many of the countries China helped - like Argentina, Brazil and South Africa - eventually renounced their nuclear weapons programs.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿPakistan got more than the rest combined. It is no exaggeration to say that China was the chief instrument by which Pakistan got its bomb. The Chinese did for Pakistan in the 1980's exactly what the Russians had done for the Chinese in the 1950's: they provided the critical technology, design data, training and even nuclear materials.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿIn fact, U.S. and Soviet intelligence would later learn that China actually supplied Pakistan with essentially the same design and trigger mechanism that it had perfected in 1966, when it tested its fourth nuclear weapon - the first to be mounted on a missile. Chinese scientists visited the Pakistani weapons design facility in the town of Wah in late 1982 or early 1983 to help determine whether the slightly modified design would work. They supplied enough uranium hexaflouride feedstock to get begin operating Pakistan's centrifuges, the machines that would produce weapons-grade uranium for its bombs. It was a particularly valuable service since the Pakistanis couldn't get the equipment needed to make their own feedstock.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿChinese scientific and technical delegations also spent a "substantial amount of time" at the Pakistan's secret uranium centrifuge plan near the town of Kahuta, according to one expert. China in turn invited hundreds of Pakistani scientists and technicians to witness and evaluate its own nuclear weapons tests throughout the 1980's.

A CHINESE MOLE
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿMuch of the information came not from Pakistan, where the U.S had agents galore, but from a spy inside the Chinese nuclear establishment.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿAt great personal risk, he had described the assistance his country was providing Pakistan and later even helped the CIA to obtain the actual design of Pakistan's first weapon, whose fundamental attributes were decidedly Chinese. The CIA and other U.S .intelligence agencies turned up unambiguous data on Pakistan's atomic bomb program and the Chinese aid throughout the eighties.
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿAnd by 1993, three years after the U.S. had determined that Pakistan had readied a small nuclear arsenal during a crisis with India, it had also learned that China was helping Pakistan build a secret military nuclear reactor that could produce plutonium for even larger bombs. The U.S. tried to stall the military reactor, at Khusab, but U.S. intelligence analysts now say that effort is futile.

ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿPakistan's tight tie with China has always been a double-edged sword for the United States. In the 1970's Pakistan acted as a bridge between the US and China, as the Nixon administration improved its ties with Beijing. In the eighties, the two countries worked together to help the CIA supply the Afghan mujahedeen in their fight against the Soviets. In return, it got US aid for more than a decade and a counterweight to use against India.
