Amidst several blogs of Ram-blasting here is one piece that caught my attention recently.

For once, I think, the fellow makes some sense. I firmly believe too that there is no point trying to cry foul over what is about happen certainly. We can of course have a political lobby which keeps opposing the deal but in the background we need to make sure that the nuclear technology that China is gifting Pakistan is safe!
How do we do that? One way is to lobby for strict implementation of IAEA safeguards (which included visits by neutral personnel) to make sure that they are not making bombs out of the Uranium supplied.
Of course, the fool-proof method is to build technologies on our own that will act as deterrents. In a nuclear world, sadly, that is the only way out. Deterrence is underestimated by many, scorned by many and despised by many! But the fact that we have not had an atomic bomb dropped on any country after 1945 is some proof enough of this, don't you think?
