YOU reported (LET, May 12) that Pakistan is to join the nuclear arms race because neighbouring India is testing nuclear weapons.
So this is what the nuclear arms race is all about - one-upmanship.
Not so long ago it was said that nuclear testing could be carried out by using computer simulation instead of using the conventional method, thereby eliminating the danger of fall-out from air or underground tests.
It's a crazy world and also a dangerous one.
