2 January 2002 - India and Pakistan 1

reporter: Kids, aren’t you afraid your dispute will escalate to nuclear war?
India: That would be a defeat. The possibility does not exist.
Pakistan: No such dirty conception is conceivable.
reporter: I see. Then why have atom bombs at all?
India: Oh, ours are to deter China, which after all needs to protect itself from the United States, which worries about North Korea.
Pakistan: Well, we always needed, like, a cool national prestige project, you know? Like the Aswan High Dam in Egypt.
