Mohan, Not surprised at all! Divide and conquer is now Divide and exploit. This has been the corner stone of Britan's policy for centuries. I am stunned at the ease with which Middle Eastern nations, and SE Asiatic countries buy into this. When will they grow up? What is India and Pakistan doing now? As long as all these countries predispose themselves to petty thinking and do not set themselves loftier goals I can't blame others for taking advantage of them. Gunther.

I find it ironic that Pakistan proposed for a non-aggression treaty, after tit for tat blasting, while still occupying portions of Kashmir, and encroaching upon Indian territory twice. But certainly a step in the right direction! India could give a bit of political advantage to Pakistan and seize this opportunity to offer Security (a treaty obviously) for Pakistan if they agree for N-disarmament. This may be a chance for them to resolve issues (and look responsible) before the West steps in at the G8 meeting! Gunther.

Pakistan has rejected an offer by India of a "no first use treaty" and instead proposed a non-aggression treaty. Of course, Pakistan will refuse to sign the "no first-use treaty"! Nothing surprising about that. It would like to have the option to use nukes in case India engages it in a full-scale conventional weapons war (where India would have a definite edge over Pakistan). The rabid right-wingers in New Delhi ought to realize now that the only way they could have secured a parliamentary majority (by forcing Pakistan into a conventional weapons war, winning the conflict, and announcing "snap" elections) is now pretty much ruled out, solely because of their own decision to go for the nuclear tests in the first place.
