In my talk I would like to analyze the nature of debate in Pakistan over the US-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement.

Has the US-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement generated sufficient debate in Pakistan? What has been Pakistan's response/reaction/policy to this Agreement?

What is being proposed in the name of policy and its impact the debate about nuclear deterrence?

Implications for Pakistan:
Specially emphasize how India is framed as responsible nuclear power and Pakistan as naughty one mainly because of the AQ Khan affair. How that issue has cast its long shadow. It is somewhat like Turkey's application for EU. Pakistan's application/aspiration for nuclear cooperation is also likely to meet same fate.
