Atomic weapons are useless if our leaders don’t have the psychology of honour (not in the tribal sense) and self respect.

Military might never gives you honor. It results in quite opposite and drastic endings. The nations prosper through principles of humanity. democracy, rule of law and knowledge. For Bablylonians, Egyptians, Persians, and Romans etc, the peak of their military might proved as their first step towards destruction.

USA is known as sole super power currently, and look at her how is she behaving. This is exactly what military might does to nations.

It was very unfortunate, but probably becoming a nuclear state was a right decision. But I don’t think this is something we should be Proud of as nation!

and @those who are quoting Islamic reference to glorify this day!

When Prophet Muhammad SAW conquered Makkah, he felt and experienced Humility rather than proudness.

I guess its not only Newaz Sherif, any Prime Minister of that time would have said yes to test the Bomb at that time back in 1998.

This is exactly the kind of rhetoric foreign funded NGO’s in Pakistan say about the nukes.
When these explosions happened, I heard a British MP Margaret Beckett on a current affair program I haven’t seen for a long time say the same thing, She was infuriated and she said It’s not right for a country that lives on our Aid to take up nuclear power and then she played the poverty card.

Pakistan will pull out of all its problems of poverty and education, Insha Allah. But there is a good chance that Pakistan may have not existed today if it was not for the nuclear deterrent.

Since the dawn of the first day, war has been the way of the world and it will remain this way. Muslims have been in the line of fire since the first person said: La ilaa ha il lallah Muhammadur rasulullah.

So chill out my friend, in my view 90%of the Pakistanis are proud of their Nukes because it creates a window of opportunity that we may finally get the independence that was promised in 1947.

I had never felt so proud before. Bhutto should be given credit for initiating the programme, Although Zia a dictator and not Popular amongst many but credit is due to him too for the most of the development went on in that era. Credit to BB for not rolling up the programme although she was under great pressure from US. Credit to NS for withstanding the pressure from the world and from cowards at home.

If NS had not gone ahead with the explosions, It would have been very easy for the likes of Moshe to roll up the programme and claim, what bomb? The nation was conned by A Q Khan who put all that money in his pockets.

Allamah Iqbal carved Muslim youth of India for the Pakistan movement, Mohammed Ali Jinah delivered Pakistan through his leadership with the backing of all the Muslims and Dr Qadeer secured Pakistan for the foreseeable future.

Until we are a nuclear power with an army that is subdued to the prime minister and we have a democracy that is transparent and founded by the public and we have a Judiciary that is independent, no nation can ever suppress us again like we were suppressed in the time of Moshe.

This is why we need to struggle for the independence of the Judiciary and this is why we must deny public support to every politician whose policies are not transparent.
