		<description>A new book called Atomic Obsession by John Mueller basically says no need to worry about nukes, let countries have the bomb if they want it.  As you say, there is a lot of naivety out there.</description>

		<description>Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan or A. Q. Khan- born April 27, 1936 in (Bhopal, British India) is a Pakistani nuclear scientist and metallurgical engineer, widely regarded as the founder of Pakistan&#039;s nuclear program. 

During the 1980s and 1990s, the Western governments became increasingly convinced that covert nuclear and ballistic missile collaboration was taking place between China, Pakistan, and North Korea.  In 1987, a British newspaper reported that Khan had confirmed Pakistan&#039;s acquisition of a nuclear weapons development capability, by his saying that the U.S. intelligence report &quot;about our possessing the bomb (nuclear weapon) is correct and so is speculation of some foreign newspapers&quot;.   The Pakistani Government later disavowed that statement.
And Khan initially denied making the statement, though he later retracted his denial. In October 1991, the Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported that Khan had repeated his claim to have nuclear capability at a dinner meeting of businessmen and industrialists in Karachi, which &quot;sent a wave of jubilation&quot; through the audience.

In October 1990, the activities of Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) led to the United States terminating economic and military aid to Pakistan. Following this, the Government of Pakistan agreed to a freeze in its nuclear weapons development program. But Khan, in a July 1996 interview with the Pakistani weekly Friday Times, said, “that at no stage was the program [of producing nuclear weapons-grade enriched uranium] ever stopped&quot;.

This familiar pattern of deceit, political dialogue, and diplomatic stall tactics allowed Pakistan to finalize and acquire nuclear weapons and proliferate them to rouge nations such as North Korea and China. 

We have been on the brink of nuclear annihilation before during a young Kennedy administration. Luckily both the Soviets and the U.S. governments cared more for their people, than starting a war that could not have had a winner.  Today we have Iranians who care not as much for their people, but are intent on controlling the world with their religious fanaticism, to destroy Israel and dominate the Middle East. 

Is Barack Obama a naïve president like John F. Kennedy who in 1962 believed that the Soviet Union would not deliver offensive missile to Cuba? Or is he truly attempting to hand over our country to Muslim extremist and rouge nations on a silver platter?</description>

		<description>My experience is that conservatives identify the problem and look for solutions whereas liberals find a solution they are comfortable with and work back to find some justifications.  This is exactly what Ploughshare is doing.</description>
