I guess a lot of Indians will lap that stuff up without question. Well, the usual scenario for a new India-Pakistan clash would be over Kashmir. India, in an effort to pre-empt Pakistan's efforts to move its tanks and personnel east from Lahore into Indian-controlled Kashmir, sends its soldiers deep into Pakistan's territory. Pakistan, worried that this move may cut off Lahore from the rest of the country and also fearful of losing its own nuclear arsenal, could launch a nuclear strike against the Indian force on Pakistani soil, killing hundreds of thousands of Indian soldiers (and quite possibly a lot of its own civilians).

What would India do then? Launch an N-attack on Pakistan's military facilities? This would definitely kill innumerable Pakistani civilians and would be regarded by the international community as an outrage, especially when Pakistan's N-attack didn't harm India's civilians. India would be under intense pressure from outside, not to retaliate. But from the inside, there would be immense pressure to do the opposite...

These are the kind of scenarios that have been played out in the "war games" conducted by Pentagon. They show that even after a nuclear exchange, the problems will remain and continue to fester.

But bureaucrats in the armed forces offer it as a silver-bullet solution to the problems in the subcontinent and idiots like JPR (and there are too many of them in India) lap it up eagerly, with visions of a glorious "Raam Rajya" in their deluded minds.

OUR MILITARY RULERS

Ayub Khan lost Kashmir,
Yahya Khan lost East Pakistan,
General Zia lost Siachen,
General Pervez Musharraf.....oh God forbid...


Honestly, I wish Pakistan well. we don't like sickliness in our neighbor. It is not good for our neighborhood. Afghanistan is being rebuilt; we don't want a balkanized Pakistan. A prosperous neighbor is good for India.-JPR
