Source: Declassified in response to a Freedom of Information Act request
The State Department reports that there is “unambiguous evidence that Pakistan is actively pursuing a nuclear weapons development program.” It says that the U.S. has information indicating that Pakistan began to develop a nuclear explosive device “soon after the 1974 Indian nuclear test.” Pakistan has obtained technology for its research in Europe, using procurement agents and front organizations. The U.S. has also concluded that China is assisting Pakistan’s nuclear program: it believes that they have cooperated in the production of fissile material, and possibly also in “nuclear device design.” (During the 1980s, the U.S. was criticized for providing massive levels of aid to Pakistan, its military ally, despite laws barring assistance to any country that imported certain technology related to nuclear weapons. President Ronald Reagan waived the legislation, arguing that cutting off aid would harm U.S. national interests.)
Your arguments are brilliant but your facts aren't well, facts...
Edited to add" Relativism THIS about Raygun. So a minute ago you were bitching that that fuckup Clinton was responsible for Pakistan's bomb, now that I had to tell you it not only happened under Raygun but Raygun at best turned a blind eye I bet you can hear a pin drop the silence will be deafening as "dear god we can't attack Raygun"!
