Mohan: nytimes.com You might find this article interesting. It is unbelievable that CIA did not have any idea that BJP was going ahead with nuclear testing. The in-house contrarian thinkers, the consensus opinion makers and others, according to this report did not have a clue. BJP's election statements were not believed. I find all of this very confusing, & amusing . I am inclined to think that the involved people knew about the impending nuclear testing and let that happen. Why? To contain China. The official line is that US is against nuclear proliferation and that they did not anticipate in their wildest dreams and contarian and consensual imaginations and or thoughts that BJP will test nuclear weapons. My hypothesis is that there is a turn in the US foreign policy in that China should be contained at the risk of letting India and Pakistan go nuclear. Now China is flanked by nuclear Russia and India. How is that for containment of China? Could I be expressing a contrarian view? Why is it that Russians are selling nuclear submarines to India with nuclear weapon launching capability? Food for thought. Don't the nuclear submarines go to any shore & any where in the world, of course in the international waters? JPR
