Subject: Re: silence on India's tests
From: L.J.Connell-AT-sussex.ac.uk (Liam Connell)


As someone from Britain who used to be very active in the Campaign 
for Nuclear Disarmament, I find it deeply revealling and 
vindicating that India's stated aim was to join the "Club of Five". 
All the moral posturing from Britain and America can hardly 
disguise the fact that they both possess nuclear capability.  Nor 
than Japan's trading links with France were barely dented by French 
testing in the Pacific in 1995 - remember that?

Seems like a text-book case of globalisation to me.
