from what I read in the news, India Pakistan are not in the same category. The US passed legislation for India to have access to civilian nuke tech. The US denied such facilities to Pakistan. Israel is a very diff ball game, I concede.

Officially Israel does not have nuclear weapons, as you allude to, it's just a rumor. Whether they do, or they don't, I doubt they'll ever say, but since many of the people who developed our nuclear weapons were Jews, and since some of the people who stole our nuclear secrets (the Rosenbergs, for example) were Jews, it would surprise no one. As for Pakistan, there is another rumor that the United States has "secured" their nuclear weapons, with or without willing cooperation from the Pakistani government. Another rumor -- much of the Soviet nuclear arsenal was worthless, including the portable "suitcase" nukes we've heard so much about. Another rumor -- some of the American nuclear arsenal is so old as to be worthless, as well. Who knows? Does Kim Jung Il actually have working nuclear weapons, as he says he does? Who knows? But it's said, or rumored, that even if he did, he couldn't reliably deliver a payload to the US.
