Pakistan's indirect role in North Korea's nuclear program

[Joe Shearer]

Same as some Indian with integrity who are ridiculed, threatened, attacked and killed, I guess we both have ours

If you said what I think you said, that there are decent men and women on both sides who are under pressure - that is meant to stand for all your categories - for telling the truth or for opposing the state line, and if you were referring to Dr. Hoodbhoy as being among those who are under pressure, please acknowledge this. I merely want to know if I understood you correctly.

one man's freedom fighter is other man's terrorists. The statement is valid in both senses depending on what ideology you align yourself with. but just to kill your curious cat, I was referring to anti-state actors.

It was not merely curiosity. Your previous post moved me deeply.

One thing you are going to have to learn. We need people like Hoodbuoy. Scientists and thinkers tend to be eccentric and even mavericks. That is the quality about them - questioning each and everything that helps to nurture intellectual ferment.

Hoodbouy's replies were about as good could be. He accepted Pakistan gave NK centrifuges. which is fact and no point in doind a ostrich over that. He does however point out that NK's nukes are plutonium based therefore Pakistan's role is marginal at best. He then also questions the entire concept of "rogue nations" as being wrong. Just because USA is a superpower it does not have a licence to go around being the judge.

I am a secularist. I have no hesitation in placing the Pakistani state equivalent to god. That is my way of placing Pakistan first. Can you say the same boss?

BRILLIANT!

AQ Khan was made into a larger then life character. There is no doubt that he was involved in the atomic bomb program, but we were made to believe that he did it all alone like harry potter. There were in-fact 1000 of scientist's who were involved in the making of the bomb. KRL only task was to enrich uranium which constitutes 5% of the bomb. Rest of the work was done by PAEC.

AQ did like the lime light a lot which in-fact turned out to be good for the atomic program as the majority of the people working on the program remained anonymous and focused on their work.

Before people start bashing me I respect AQ khan and his work for the country.

If anything substantial would have gone on between Pakistan and NK, South Korea most definitely would have commented on this. They haven't done anything like that as of yet.

I very much suggest that you go over the very basic tenants of Islam again and reconsider this statement. I also would advise you to read up on what constitutes as shirk lest you say such things again.
