Every Pakistani remembers seeing TV films of the hills' shuddering at the jolt from underground, like a camel shaking off a layer of dust. Russia, which has pledged to update its nuclear arsenal, knows that its bombs are what maintain its pretensions to be a great power. Neither Britain nor France will give up its nuclear weapons, at least partly because if either did, it would leave the other as the sole...
