Well, that is only to be expected. To quote Gaurav Kampani, a commentator on matters nuclear : " All these years, Pakistan had a limited nuclear-strike capability. Pakistan's F-16s could only threaten targets in North and Western India. It was also never clear whether Pakistan could miniaturise and mate nuclear warheads to ballistic missiles without a programme of field tests. India has now provided Pakistan the opportunity to test warheads for its inventory of ballistic missiles. Nuclear threats from India have also spurred the development of long-range ballistic missile systems in Pakistan. Once these are developed and deployed, India's strategic depth will be shattered." Kampani concludes thus : " By buying into the collective stupidity of our bomb lobby, the BJP has committed a monumental blunder. It has embarked on a high-risk strategy that over time will bring us diminishing security returns. The nuclearisation of our armed forces won't serve our security interests; it will feed the constructed worldview of a narrow-minded national security priesthood. The BJP would like the nation to believe that it has resolved a great strategic contradiction. It is more likely that it has walked India into a strategic trap." The moral of the story is that you always have to be careful what you wish for. Because sometimes, you may actually get it!<g>
