Well, I know this is of limited amusement to many of you, but........ That cow idea is great. Would there be hesitation to nuke cows more so than Pakistani's? OK, I know that sounds sarcastic, but it's one of those 'knife' questions. Would Pakistani's hesitate to use the 'Muslim' bomb on Muslims of India? Oh my god, they're going to have to migrate out ala 1947, but this time the Indians won't let them leave. It would only be one way traffic, right? How many Hindu's left in Pakistan, guys? OK, more questions - since we are so secular - I'd like to know whether any of the contributors on this thread are women? How many Moslem? Mohan? Any Pakistani's? Where are the Pakistani's?

Nuclear Policy- Brigadier Vijai K. Nair(retired). JPR: Here is an interesting article written before the recent developments in the subcontinent,again taken from Indian Defence Weekly by Lancer. Here is an excerpt. A URL for the article is given below in case y'all want to read the whole thing. I thought the last paragraph in bold is of particular interest. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "International relations in the contemporary world are experiencing divergent pulls and pressures depending on the global or regional magnitude of the players' aspirations. The United States has imperatives aimed a' retaining its global pre-eminence in the political, economic and military spheres. Pakistan's imperatives are limited to regional goals aimed at acquisition of Kashmir, attaining an equitable power balance vis-…-vis India and, becoming the predominant party in the Islamic configuration in the Middle East. Both global and regional issues play a major role in the development of China's foreign policy. China's internal anxieties in Sinkiang and Tibet demand a secure flank along its South Western extremities while it is occupied by its aspirations to great power status in global politics. Indian policy-makers must accept these complexities and their convergence on India's security environment. Each of these states have their own compulsions in the Kashmir issue and nuclear proliferation in South Asia. The United States, having accomplished the dismemberment of the erstwhile USSR now faces several challenges to its position as the remaining super power. Loss of that status will reduce its capacity to control global events in keeping with its interests. One major threat emanates from China. Do the United States plans include dismantling the Chinese power quotient? If so, do they covet an Independent Kashmir, dependent on American largesse, which would give them access to the vulnerable underbelly of China? Is that the reason that China has taken the stand that an independent Kashmir is not acceptable? bharat-rakshak.com
