For india it is a question whether the destruction that it causes to india be a bargain when the retaliation results in the complete annhilation of pakistan. That's an ugly question that indians will need to answer. But uglier so to for pakistan. Will the damage that it causes be worth the fact that they will not exist. Or maybe only a few million pakistanis existing in a devastated country. There you go. Stretch the above argument a wee little bit and you end up with what I said earlier -- "Indians... lull themselves into feeling that... Pakistan is bluffing about using nuclear weapons against India." I and many others can comprehend the devastation but unlike pakistan india's resources are spread well even though large amounts may be in the vaults of our politicians. Well, there you go again! What you say above, directly leads to the second point that I made earlier : "Indians... lull themselves into feeling that... India will somehow be able to "tide over" the problem even if Pakistan makes a first strike." It needs to be emphasized that nuclear strikes devastate the environment. In such a scenario, whatever is there in the "vaults of the politicians" amounts to little more than pieces of paper.
