The Pakistanis have no sense. They will have to prove to their masses that they can stand up to India. Last night, a representative from their Embassy, on PBS indicated that they are not afraid of sanctions since they have always been on one form ar another of US sanctions.

Sanctions will affect them more than ever, but if they are dumb enough to prove their inferior technology, let them. If Clinton decides to release those F-16s, he would violate the law, so how can he?

Mohan:
If Pakistan is developing nuclear weapons for their protection, I don't see any problem. Down the road, there is a possibility, under pressure and in an act of brotherly love, Pakistan may pass on the technology to their brother countries in the middle East. That will draw an intense scrutiny and violent reaction from Israel and USA. That will be a fatal mistake on the part of Pakistan. Since they are used to getting technology from the Chinese, it is not out of character to help a brother country. This may be a primary motivation why USA is putting pressure on Pakistan to stop the test.
