<<Pakistan is scary >>

I agree. There have been 4 assassination attempts on Musharraf in just the last year or so. It sounded like the last one was a near miss. I hope India doesn't follow our lead in being preemptive.

>>China has maybe 200 nukes<<

An anonymous poster (123889@anon.penet.fi) sent an internal document of the Chinese Defense Ministry to the Hong Kong magazine The Trend (Dong Xiang). This document reveals that China at present has a total of 2,350 nuclear warheads. This number i s about 8 times larger than the 300 generally cited in the Western media. Among the 2,350 warheads are about 550 tactical nukes and 1,800 strategic nukes. The document also reveals that the annual production of warheads was about 110-120 i n the 1980's and about 140-150 at present. "

==========================================
And even if this 2300 is an overestimate, 1,000 would be a safe bet.
And most of these war heads are burying deep under TaiHangShan, and the US satellites can never locate. As a result, majority of Chinese nuclear war heads WILL survive the first wave of the US nuclear attack, in case the US decides to do so. And then China will revenge hard. So when you "...turn China to glass" be prepared China's pay back of turning those big cities in west coast into glass. What goes around comes around.
