plausible deniability, that's what the chinese seek by proliferating to mohammedan terrorists.
i like what the guy is saying, except that he gives away the game by his last statement:
==== quote ====
Is the world safer or more dangerous with all these powers?
The world is safer for having all the permanent UN Security Council members possess nuclear weapons. I think having North Korea, Pakistan, and India is probably not a good idea. Nuclear proliferation, above all, is not inevitable as many thought at the dawn of the nuclear age.
==== end quote ====
he says this after whining away about how the chinese are terrible proliferators.
so what he's really saying is that it is a good idea for white guys in the P5, ie. the us, russia, france, britain, to have nuclear weapons. it's not good for the chinese to have them (see all the whining he has done about them above), and of course not good for india to have them.
in other words, the old american saw about "responsible nuclear power". meaning only white guys can be trusted with them, even if white guys are the only ones who have used them ever in anger.
nice try, pretty subtle racism.

| China in about 1982, under Deng Xiaoping, decided to proliferate nuclear technology to communists and Muslims in the third world. They did so deliberately with the theory that if nukes ended up going off in the western world from a Muslim terrorist, well that wasn't all bad. If New York was reduced to rubble without Chinese fingerprints on the attack, that left Beijing as the last man standing. http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/world/2009/01/02/why-china-helped-countries-like-pakistan-north-korea-build-nuclear-bombs.html The Nuclear Express: A Political History of the Bomb and Its Proliferation by Thomas C.
