The United States & Pakistan: India's View

From the view of the country of India, we would have mixed feelings on the topic of the United States going in and occupying Pakistan to secure the nuclear materials they have. We are a nuclear country ourselves and do posses nuclear weapons. Our own country was declared nuclear back in 1998, so we have no right to state the nuclear materials are bad. First of all, we might be a little bit nervous if the United States came into Pakistan. The U.S. isn’t fully a neutral country, so them coming into Pakistan worries us. Since Pakistan has nuclear materials, we might be worried for our country and citizens own safety, so we would appreciate the United States trying to take away their weapons. However, it’s not right for the U.S. to just “walk in” on Pakistan like that. By walking in on Pakistan, it would cause a lot of controversy between the United States and Pakistan, as well as many other countries that might be involved. We would hope they’d have the approval of the United Nations as well. The United Nations should supervise this action. Before the United States should occupy Pakistan, we could possibly talk to Pakistan about getting rid of their nuclear weapons, as well as us getting rid of ours so there is no feeling of threat between the two countries that requires nuclear weapons to be held in possession. If talking to them didn’t work, that’s when India would believe action by the United Nations would be acceptable, but we don’t believe it’s allowable by the United States. Another suggestion we could make is that the United Nations goes into Pakistan to secure the nuclear materials instead of the United States. If the United Nations went into Pakistan, they would not take any sides because they are a neutral organization. To make things clear, as the country of India, we do believe it’s acceptable for someone to go occupy Pakistan because we are one of the countries feeling threatened by them, but we don’t fully support that it should be the Untied States.
