We respectfully take issue with Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani's assertion that "Pakistan is a strong country with ... invincible defence and nobody can cast an evil eye on it." ("Nuclear assets in safe hands: PM Gilani," Associated Press of Pakistan). Today, the only means to ensure true national security and total national invincibility is to be a nation without enemies. Military strategists everywhere acknowledge that conventional means of defence are powerless to protect the nation against modern destructive technologies: weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, long-range push-button electronic missile technologies, or terrorism. No conventional military or technological defence strategy can safeguard the nation from these offensive technologies.Â
