WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

I just heard that India successfully test-fired a medium-range nuclear-capable missile today, just three days after its neighbor and rival, Pakistan, did the exact same thing. Where's the self-righteous indignation and outrage that the United States has become so popular for expressing and showing when tests such as these occur? Why, two or three days ago, didn't the U.S. come out in opposition to Pakistan's test, and will it say anything about India's? Had it been a North Korean or Iranian missile launch, much of the world--led by the U.S.--would be up in arms (no pun intended).

Why is it okay for countries that have already developed nuclear capabilities to continue to pursue their defense ambitions, but it's not okay for all the other nations on Earth to do the same? (Interestingly enough, India and Pakistan have never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, whereas Iran and North Korea have.)

We have to accept that, like guns in the hands of those here in America who will use them only for harm, much of the rest of the world WILL acquire nuclear weapons. It's simply a matter of time and money, things which will continue and be acquired eternally. We must focus more on prevention of war & terror and on providing education, rule of law, democracy, and free trade. Lee McD.
