Gersh; OFF Topic, Well when it comes to the India & Pakistan & the Nukes; All I know is there is something fishy about it..& they could not have got there on their own. It's not possible that they did so without help and any fool can see that. Look at how many others would love to have the things, and have even more money and resources so how is it that these jokers wind up with em. What is going on ? I doubt that even the main players know, & any one who isn't confused just don't know near what they think they do. --------------- As for the US not launching regardless of what happens, don't you place any bets on that. But I don't think it would not be along the lines that many people would expect. Considering the power we have I think we have acted with great restraint and it would not take long for someone like me to end the Proliferation if I had my hands on the strings. They would comply with the UN and fast or I'd take the gloves off and make them wish that they had. But then again there is likely a lot of stuff going on that I don't know of that could give me pause to re-consider that. Still I'd be surrounding them with so many Neutron bombs it would give them a lot to think about. It's a mess that's for sure and it could easily spin out of the control of those who think they have a handle on it. I don't know if sanctions will work this crap has to stop somewhere, I be tempted to do a complete blockade of both countries until they came to their senses, and kick any ones ass that tried to run it too. The world can not survive if every country in it decides to go the way of Nuclear bombs, it wont work. I do believe we have acted in good faith over the years to try and move away from them, ( not with out mistakes ) but with more good faith than any of the others. If we don't draw a line in sand fairly soon , then we may find down the road all the windows have closed and that it to late to plug close the gate. I hate to say it but the whole thing ticks me off, if they want to play around with these things it must be they can't understand the the amount of horror that is in them..and there may be no way to get them to understand without a demonstration.
