...conveying to President Bush that he should learn from history and avoid another misadventure, this time in Iran. Unity among the European Union leaders was the hallmark of that significant change. They have also publicly expressed anguish about a continuation of the U.S.'s Iraq policy. Ali Ashraf Khan Karachi You said Europe is looking for signs that the U.S. is ready to accept it as a full partner. But it's not a question of the U.S. accepting Europe as an equal. Rather it's a question of the Bush Administration's admitting that in order to invade Iraq...
...Peddling Nuclear Secrets I was disappointed by your doomsday-style investigative reporting on nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan, who is under house arrest for selling Pakistan's nuclear secrets [Feb. 14]. Why not give your readers an alternative picture? Please try to understand: Pakistan is a country surrounded by problematic neighbors. We need our nukes to keep India quiet. We need to build economic ties with Iran for our mutual benefit. We need market access, scholarships, easy visas to other countries and technical know-how. Pakistanis have paid dearly for assisting the U.S. and the world community, first during the Afghan...
...Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram, Afghanistan, such abuse by U.S. forces has come to be accepted as the norm. When we hear of prisoners being humanely treated by their U.S. captors, that will indeed be news. Tony Correia-Afonso Benaulim, India Peddling Nuclear Secrets You called Khan "the merchant of Menace" [Feb. 14] for his sale of nuclear technology, but it seems you forgot to mention many other "merchants of menace" since the development of nuclear weapons in the 1940s. The title should be conferred on Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer and President Harry Truman, who was responsible...
...TIME's reporting on Khan's dangerous game of selling nuclear technology reminded me how vitally the world needs a global nuclear nonproliferation policy. But the credibility of the nuclear powers in limiting the spread of the Bomb is hampered by their inaction in pursuing disarmament. Even worse, the U.S.'s plan to design a new generation of nuclear arms deprives it of any moral leadership in the nuclear nonproliferation campaign. Khan's nefarious transactions made the world a more dangerous place; the development of smarter bombs by the U.S. would do the same thing. Peter Schoch Meisterschwanden, Switzerland...
...Your story described how Khan's global smuggling network sold nuclear materials. I am not defending Khan, but I must point out that the U.S. has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons and is the only country to have used them on human beings. In the process of removing Saddam Hussein, the U.S. showered conventional bombs on Iraq, killing innocent citizens. The torturing of prisoners in Abu Ghraib was also a heinous crime. So it is hypocritical for Americans to condemn Khan when it is the U.S. that has lost the confidence and trust of the world. Nizar Ali London...
