The Lesson? Speak Softly And Carry A Big Nuke

Before I go ahead and say something controversial, let me just say that I don’t think anyone should have nuclear weapons. Not the US, not Britain, Pakistan, France or any other member of the “nuclear club” we’ve been hearing about non-stop for the past week or so.

There. That’s out of the way. Now I’ll say something controversial. Why shouldn’t North Korea have nuclear weapons?

Obviously Kim Jong-Il is not the kind of person that anyone wants to see with a big red button in his hand, but is Pervez Musharraf? Better yet, is George W Bush?

It is utter hypocrisy on the part of the United States—or any nuclear power, for that matter—to say that it’s okay for it to have nuclear weapons but not another country, such as North Korea. We’ve seen this song and dance before. When India and Pakistan joined the club, there was outrage from the other nuclear powers and the rest of the world. But this outrage died down rather quickly, and now no one would ever question those countries’ “right” to nuclear weapons—and yet Pakistan crowed the loudest against North Korea’s nuclear tests.
