What about Iraq? Isn't Iraq a independent country as well? What right do you have to ask for UN inspections ? What about the northern 'No Fly Zone'.
The UN can try to force to bow down to weapons inspections and the no-fly zones, and they can try to enforce their requests with the threat of trade sanctions and coalition attacks, but at the end of the day, Iraq remains a sovereign nation. They kicked out the weapons inspectors, they said they will no longer bow down to the UN orders, and they consistently challenge the no-fly zones.
If the UN requested Pakistan to disarm, they would be equally powerless to truly force their hand.
Do not confuse the UN with the US. The two entities are not one in the same, and are sometimes at odds.
I am not saying that Iraq does not deserve it but none of those restrictions are constitutional.
Constitutional based on what constitution? There is no constitution governing the international community, and the constitution of the US which guarantees her citizens the right to be armed does not apply to a foreign government or citizens.
If any other soverign country can have nukes why can't saddam? Why try to buy out North Korean Nuke program? Soverign nation does not give a country right whatever it wants. It's very hipocritic of few Americans to say "Oh we don't do that. They have a right to do so."
Saddam probably does have nukes, or at the very least bio/chem weapons. If he didn't, he'd let the inspectors in and allow his country to get back to economic normalcy.
North Korea continues to present a threat to the US, so we continue trying to minimize that threat. I don't see Pakistan threatening the US.
Additionally, you have to review the two situations--the US fought with North Korea in the 1950s as part of combating the spread of Communism. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but this is more of a "personal" dispute between N Korea and the US which others stay out of, much as this is a personal dispute between India and Pakistan.
As for Iraq, I reiterate the fact that at the end of the day the UN is powerless over a sovereign nation, and the UN does not always serve US interests.
Vietnam wanted to have a communist govt. did US respect their right?
Refer to discussion of N. Korea above. See the fact that in the 50s 60s and 70s, the US government viewed Communism as a spreading scourge that needed to be fought. Vietnam did not "want" to have a Communist government, Ho Chi Minh and his allies wanted to install one whether or not the people went for it.
If it was despicable to try and defend the people's rights in Vietnam, then it must be despicable to defend the people's rights in Kasmir? No one asked them what they wanted to do.
Wanna talk about human rights ? What about Afghan/Pakistani detainees brought over from Afghanistan? I know it is a touchy issue for all of us but come on lets not create double standards here.
I have no idea what exactly you're referring to. Pakistani terrorists fighting alongside Afghan terrorists? I don't see a double standard there....terrorists were detained regardless of nationality.
I know that it would be a stupid idea to try what is proposed here but it's equally stupid to say they are soverign and thus have a right to have nukes.
Apparently not....
