#2 why should other technologically advanced NPT signatories, such as Brazil, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Japan

That's our Jimmah.

#3 But there is a significant difference: the original five have signed the NPT, and have stopped producing fissile material for weapons.

This is intellectually dishonest.

The original five signed the NPT as Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) and get to keep their arsenals.

If India signed the NPT, it would have to do so as a Non Nuclear Weapon State (NNWS) and would have to disarm.

China has not stopped the production of fissile material.

In any event, the NWS only stopped fissile material production when they had stockpiled what was needed for their arsenals and had an excess.
India will probably stop when it too has an excess.

#4 Carter? Intellectually dishonest? yeah, and an anti-American and anti-semite too, apparently. I didn't read the article. I saw "by Jimmy Carter" and figured I'd save myself the time. Craven Saudi bootlicker and embarrassment to humanity

#8 It is only Carter's total lack of ~~spine~~ will that makes nuclear weapons seem undesirable to him. Any free person knows damn well that in a few more years having an abundant supply of them will likely prove crucial. Through his complicity with Islam, Carter has become the enemy. He is a traitor to America and this is routinely reflected in his words and deeds. His citizenship should be revoked.

In fact, by lending his support to Islam, Carter encourages even more rapacious behavior by Muslims. It is through increasingly provocative Muslim atrocitieseffectively condoned by Carterthat the limit finally will be reached and all Islam will be incinerated.

#9 My theory about Carter's "career" of the last 27 years is that he's still carrying a grudge against this country for the whipping he got in 1980.

Hence his propensity for always seeing the best in our enemies and the worst in what used to be his own country.

#10 I do not mind seeing more nuclear weapons in the hands of responsible nations like India, I want to see fewer or none in the hands of nations like North Korea and Iran. And that goes double for Pakistan, especially with A.Q. Khan still regarded as a national hero.

#11 especially with A.Q. Khan still regarded as a national hero.

History will be complete when the few surviving Pakistanis curse Kahn's name with the same vigor that the few surviving Muslims curse bin Laden's.
