		<description>Farid Masood, I am sorry if I somehow communicated hatred. It is unfortunate for me that you got this impression. I have no reason to hate you or anyone for that matter, if anything I love you for your active participation in these often conflicting and acrimonious debates. For me personally it is a source of personal enrichment; of course I would have preferred you with a more compatible opinion with mine. We are both interested in our country, our society and all that entails it, which is great.</description>

		<description>I do hate all such weapons of total destruction of life in all its forms and shapes and I think you should also not be in love with it. It is a terrible thing at enormous cost to the poorest of the poor Pakistanis. I do hate the idea of acquiring such a God forsaken equipment and then go around with our perenial begging bowl in all the 165 million sets of hands of my people. Does it make you proud? It makes me upset and very sad.</description>

		<description>“An assembled nuclear weapon can detonate if there is a fire, accidental explosion, or an airplane carrying the weapon crashes"

this is what i am saying, weapons in normal conditions are not stored in assembled condition. Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy is saying that nuclear arsenal are prone to danger when they are assembled. And most of the Ohjri Camp weapons didn't explode (its reality) as they were not assembled. Assembled device with detonator needs more care and safety than an un-assembled device.

Try to understand things, don't become blind in hatred.</description>

		<description>Oh! I am sorry Mr. Farid Masood this Professor Dr. Hoodbhoy doesn't "seem to know" about these things as much as you do. I quoted him under "wrong" assumption, may be I should have asked you.


Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy is a nuclear physicist who teaches at the Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad.

“An assembled nuclear weapon can detonate if there is a fire, accidental explosion, or an airplane carrying the weapon crashes. This nightmare scenario led U.S. nuclear weapon designers to struggle for ten years or more to develop what are called ‘one-point safe’ nuclear weapons. Pakistani and Indian weapons are unlikely to have these very elaborate safety features, and so the danger of mishaps is non-negligible. Given how prone we are to accidents and sabotage - as evidenced in the Ojhri Camp tragedy of 1987 or the Bhopal gas tragedy - I think there is real reason for worry.”</description>

		<description>Aftab S. Alam's Comment # 10

War heads are never kept in assembled state, that is why you had heard a statement that Pakistan can deploy a nuclear war hear in 30 minutes. The detonator is stored far away from the device as a matter of safety. Nuclear Devices cannot ignite itself in normal storage conditions. 

This safety practice is also employed on other non-nuclear weapons where required. You must have known the 'Ojeri Camp' incident in Rawalpindi on April 10th many years back. Those rockets didn't exploded, the damage went on due to their strike, if all of them had exploded after striking the damage would have been many times greater then it happened</description>

		<description>".....Children are obviously in greatest danger." 

"Children are born severely deformed, crippled or grossly mutated into monstrosities. The incidence of leukaemia and other forms of cancer among people otherwise unaffected, increases manifold."

"These are weapons of mass destruction that are primarily targeted against civilian populations."

"The public in Pakistan and India need to be informed that there are no winners in a nuclear war, and no cause great enough to justify fighting one.” 

Saleem Bhai, I sicerely and honestly believe that most of the countries of the West have opted out of such mode of destruction otherwise it is not that we are the only smart people around with a bomb   and the BEGGING BOWLS in 165 million hands.</description>

		<description>Dear Aftab, I'm not targeting you by pasting this part of his interview. Its just for information for all of readers. There are lot of misconceptions about Atomic Bombs and Missiles. Its not as simple thing and it not works as normal bomb. Otherwise whole world be having this technology.</description>

		<description>Interviewer: How is it possible Mr.Samar, if you put such a weapon on the road and I will give a truck to a suicide bomber who will hit the weapon on the road.??

Dr. Samar Mubarak: No, he will only break the nuclear weapon by hitting it but it will not detonate. If an atomic bomb which is fitted onto a missile or an aircraft and if that missile or aircraft is launched and crashes inside your own country, that weapon will not work, the weapon will fall and break but will not detonate.

There is a mechanism and procedure for its detonation, first you give it a code, if you throw a weapon on the ground, it will break but a nuclear explosion will not take place, the explosive inside it will explode, but the nuclear reaction that has to take place will not be triggered. It will be just like detonating 100 kg of explosives.</description>

		<description>I know Dr Pervez Hoodbhoy personally and if you want to get his opinion that whether Pakistan should keep this technology or not… His answer will be in favor of Atomic Technology… reason is not because Atomic Bomb can spread such and such destruction on large scale but because we have to keep it to balance powers in region.

You said about Japan… Japan took assurance from other powers that they are ready to demilitarize given that you give me assurance that you will not attack on me again. And today US even regrets on his that decision because Japan won economic race and competing US. If today India assures that they will never attack on us or our other enemies…then I will simply say…take these atomic bomb parts and throw in Sea… But how you can live respectfully when your don’t have equal power as your enemy has?

If you want to copy paste Scientists comments then also past Dr. Samar Mubarak comments and see whether this bomb will explode if plane will crash. Just get info. Sir, my very close relatives are scientists and I know a lot that even India attacks on Islamabad … we will be having time to fire back and our Atomic bomb or missile is not keeping in one place… You can’t even imagine where where these scientists are keeping them. Our enemy satellites is even unable to recognize it.</description>
