Pride of Pakistan
Pride of Pakistan , AQ. Khan
Great Personality, Leader of Pakistan
Abdul Qadeer Khan (Urdu: عبدالقدیر خان; born April 1, 1936 in Bhopal, India) is a Pakistani scientist and metallurgical engineer, widely regarded as the founder of Pakistan's nuclear program. His middle name is occasionally rendered as Quadeer, Qadir or Gadeer, and his given names are usually abbreviated to A.Q.
In January 2004, Khan confessed to having been involved in a clandestine international network of nuclear weapons technology proliferation from Pakistan to Libya, Iran and North Korea. On February 5, 2004, the President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, announced that he had pardoned Khan, who is widely seen as a national hero.[1] Recently Dr. Qadeer cleared the issue of confession which he said...

Pakistan tests nuclear-capable cruise missile
Barbur missile's range extended to 700 kilometres
Thursday July 26th, 2007
Pakistan test fired its weapon in an undisclosed location. A military statement said it would "consolidate Pakistan's strategic capability and strengthen national security." The new range is enough to reach India's capital New Delhi. Under a deal Pakistan negotiated with India in 1999, each country must warn the other of ballistic tests, but not cruise missiles. Relations between the self-declared nuclear powers remain tense. They have fought three wars since being separated at independence in 1947, and are deadlocked over Kashmir. But neither has tested any underground weapons since 1998.
The missile launch comes a day after India's cabinet approved a civilian nuclear deal with the U.S. If approved by the...

Ruining Pakistan's Capital Islamabad
The past 5 years have seen massive unsustainable 'development' in Islamabad. This has been spearheaded by its municipality, with the backing of the bureaucracy and military high-ups. No public input is sought or accepted. The character of the city has changed through ill-thought-out projects that have ruined the environment of the city and made it unmanageable.
Pakistan generally lacks the organizational and management skills to handle large cities and projects effectively, but one continues to see the proliferation of mega-projects up and down the country. From such adventures, various interest groups siphon off funds leaving the cities poorer for everyone, and more so for the majority who are financially poor.
The idea that "small is beautiful" is alien to city planners, top...

abdul quadeer khan, pakistan, nuclear wal mart and red chinese
This is a funny video. Facts presented though are accurate and serious.
AQ khan got access to uranium enrichment technology in the west, which he proliferated left (china, north korea) right (libya, iran, saudi arabia) and center (pakistan, al quaeda, talib).
China indeed has been the vicious joker in the pack. China has been using proliferation to keep her strategic competitors under check.
It has transferred and proliferated weapons of mass destruction to proven rogue regimes; while at the same time being brutal with its own minority east turkistan population. In China muslim population in 1938 was ~50 million. Now it is in the 15-20 million range.
(Contrast this with democratic India. Muslim population in 1947 was less than 30 million and it is now in 2008 ~200 million....

Treason 2
Proof positive of corrupt elites holding the nuclear threat to humanity's collective head. To achieve real and unmitigated power over society one does not need democracy, elections or political parties: the threat of total anihilation is used to prop up the national security establishment in most major countries today. This international apparatus holds real power above and beyond what we perceive as national political establishments.
AMY GOODMAN: Adrian Levy, what about the United States firing intelligence agents who were uncovering Washington's complicity, purging government departments charged with tracking nuclear proliferation and tipping off the Pakistan government about probes into its illicit program?
ADRIAN LEVY: This is absolutely critical. I think that this thing that you...

Pakistan - New Strategy for Prosperity and Stability ...
http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/11/pakistan_report.html
Pakistan lies at the nexus of one the world's most complicated geopolitical regions— one plagued by poverty, nuclear proliferation, and global terrorism. With a growing population of more than 165 million people, Pakistan is a vital link between South and Central Asia and the broader Middle East. Pakistan's multiple internal challenges extend beyond its borders and have a wide-ranging impact on regional and global stability. Just as conditions in Afghanistan, India, Iran, and Central Asian countries affect Pakistan, events in Pakistan shape its neighbors.
There are positive signs and opportunities for Pakistan's democracy and, ultimately, stability. In February 2008, a democratic transition occurred in Pakistan,...

Playing Nuclear Favorites: US Congress Favors India
The 109th Congress passed a nuclear trade bill as they finished their legislative business that permits India to purchase nuclear fuel and technology from the US. Joe Cirincione of the Center for American Progress says this is a decision that America could come to regret and might spark a nuclear arms race in southeast Asia.

Tehran, November 2 (ANI): Indias Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday said that New Delhi requires both India-US civil nuclear deal and Iran-Pakistan-India or IPI Gas pipeline to fulfill its energy requirements.

Benazir Bhutto on giving the IAEA access to A.Q. Khan
www.pakistanpolicy.com
Bhutto was asked, "What are your views on AQ Khan and will you permit him to be interviewed by the West?"
She replied, "While we do not agree at this stage to have any Western access to AQ Khan we do believe that the IAEA...would have the right to put questions to AQ Khan. That will satisfy them and give the world community greater confidence that the illegal structure has been broken and that no further dangerous repercussions for the world community come about due to those activities."

Deadly effects of a nuclear bomb
If you get vaporized, you're lucky. Others have their skin burned off and inflammable things set on fire instantly in an intense light. This is followed by a tsunami like blast and a back blast. Oh - and then there's the fallout..

Race for the Nuclear Bomb- Part 1/5
History of nuclear weapons chronicles the development of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are devices that possess enormous destructive potential that uses energy derived from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, and finally with the questions of proliferation and possible use for terrorism in the early 21st century.
The first fission weapons, also known as "atomic bombs," were developed in, and partially by, the United States during World War II in what was called the Manhattan Project. In August 1945 two were dropped on Japan. An international team was dispatched to help work on the project. The Soviet Union...
