Did anyone pay attention to the news 2 weeks ago showing the war games India had, in conjunction with the U.S. military? Nope, they don't want you to panic, so the media focuses huge headlines on the never ending Palestine situation while a miscue in S. Asia now would mean not just a regional catastrophe, but economic devastation worldwide. Can you say $5 gas? Fears of food contamination a lot worse than Chernobyl should a few nuke reactors melt down along with the ground bursts? Bush (and Putin) very angry with Musharraf now, especially with the missile tests and failure to stop the incursions. Nice to be allied with Pakistan in the Al Queda war, though the motives of Pakistan are suspect at best lately with cooperation trying to help flush Al Queda out. In a major India-Pakistan war, U.S. probably would not side with EITHER. Everyone would be so shocked and frozen with fear and horror, more even than 9-11, taking sides would not be an option, stopping the obliteration and plotting how the fallout would settle over Asia would take priority. If forced to take sides, it would only be if China became involved in the fray. China has generously helped Pakistan develop it's weapons, China is an enemy of India, China has threatened to nuke L.A. over a future Taiwan conflict. Back to Chandra, the latest suicide bomber, celebrity boxing, and any other sideshows the media wants the sheeple to fixate on. 12 million minimum, that doesn't compute therefore is not very newsworthy.
