Mohan, I wouldn't try to defend the events or policies that has led to a nuclear weapon aresenal in any country. But that does not mean that India , or any other country, has any legitimate reasons whatsoever for nuclear testing. I find your comments and tippet's notion that it is good for India to show her independence as scary and dark a mind image as any I have ever seen. The really remarkable thing about the testing is that it earmarks the highjacking of India's policy by a minority party that also happens to be extreme in their beliefs. This is not a source of comfort by any measure. Best, Stitch

Mohan- you use the word "stabilize" in your message. I would say that just the opposite is the result on the sub-continent as a consequence of the testing. Just what is needed now in that area of the world, in addition to all the economic problems, is a nuclear arms race. A race that neither country can afford. Even more frightening is the thought of an escalation of a border confrontation, for which the "losing" side chooses the nuclear solution to save its national pride. Tony ps. Thanks for your invitation to visit your thread.
