On news<<Pakistan test-fired on Tuesday a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads, part of the country’s efforts to enforce its defence, a military statement said.>> And after reading this reaction from Omar from Pakistan and Richard from iran;;;; aljazeera.com << keep up the good work pakistan. thats the only way you can survive in this world. pakistan has been attacked by india three times its very important for the soveriegnty of pakistan to have nukes. these bully and backstabber indians will think twice now before attacking pakistan. its strange now that these deadly weapons can also bring peace in the region. peace.>> <<go hard pakistan, you should sell nukes to iran, saudi arabia, palestine and egypt. that will be the true solution the me conflict.>> My response to Omar and Richard.... Bombs and missiles cannot be eaten, USSR had thousands but the nation imploded under the weight of its own ill functioning markets. Every nation which stockpiles these deadly missiles and nukes owes serious answers to collective conscience of mankind; definitely it is our collective failure, it is shame that after extensive evolution and reaching a critical brain/body mass ratio, bigger than any other living entity, we collection of 12 billion neural synapses in every single human brain are only able to ensure peace through nuclear deterrence' and concepts of 'mutual assured destruction.' Idealism and philanthropy of peaceful coexistence in present day and age of ‘shock and awe’ looks too fickle a thought, however if we fail to see our collective failure as a human race when we eulogize weapons of mass destruction deliberately being stored and researched, it is our thoughtlessness. This voyage to lowly depths of human self destruction is a very miserable day, all these ‘nuke events’ are a-human, no one is going to be the winner, we humans have enough of nukes to bomb ourselves out of existence 5000 times. Thinking past ‘religious divides’ of Islam, Judaism or Christianity devouring humanity like a cancer, we communally on occasions like this should think as humans, a very unique creation with extraordinary gift of self consciousness. Forget who did what, and lets stop blaming each other, we all have on one point or the other soaked our hands with blood of innocents, we need to come out of this unnecessary hatred and admire that next world heaven is meaningless if we make this world a living hell. These weapons of 'mass destruction' ensures that we turn this beautiful planet of ours into a hell hole. No one, no one is going to be the winner in this battle, we all will be losers. We need to think above the fray of conflict-ridden religious dogmas and start our new journey as loving humans, even a very modest start will do wonders, we are all alike and out there in universe, all our searches are turning blank, we have not been able to find even one example of such a unique creation, lets not destroy each other, we cannot do much but at least we can all agree that we need to ditch this hatred and avoid getting caught in this race of ''nearness of Allah'' by killing others who do not agree with us!
