Troops Are Still Building Up...On Both Sides
Things don't look so healthy over in their neck of the woods.

...and they both are nuclear powers.

Time for Pakistan to pay for harboring and supporting terrorists.

This is a terrible dilemna, you see. I did promise to go after terrorism and attack countries that harbor terrorists, but when the terrorists are my friends (Israel and Pakistan), I just look like a hypocrite. Please forgive my hypocrisy...it's an inborn Republican trait.

Potential Cash Cow
They might have nukes, but they're not superpowers in the world theater.

A lot of superpowers would like them to have an all out war...lots of money to be made. Sad.

India has bought arms from Russia and the old USSR for years. India's nuclear program has benefitted from the joint nuclear weapons program of South africa and Israel. Pakistan has bought it's weapons from China and the USA. Unfortunately, Canada helped Pakistan into the nuclear age by supplying them with their first nuclear reactors for energy production only and they in turn have made them into breeders for weapons grade materials.

If the we end up guarding the Afghanistan border so Pakistani troops can be free to fight a war with India, this make's us defacto allies of Pakistan....what strange bed fellows we make! We will be allied TO a country which supported the Taliban until Sep. 11th and continues to support a terrorist campaign against India. So I guess that we are supporting terrorists - How ironic!

When the news of the attack on the Indian Parliament came out, my friend from India said right away that there would be war. Not that he advocates it, just felt it was certain. I hope he's wrong.

I've read that one of the reasons Pakistan was meddling in Afghanistan was to give them strategic depth in case of a nuclear war with India.

I read somewhere long long ago, that rabbits are better able to filter out radiation.

Time to farm bunnies and surround your home 5 bunnies deep to keep out the rays.
