USA Its President, Foreing secretary, CIA and all other agencies are making lots of noise about Iran’s “Secret nuclear facility” Whom are they try to fool? Were they not aware that A. Q. Khan the nuclear market trader was responsible for selling nuclear technology to not only Iran but also to North Korea and Libiya. Is CIA unawre of the fact that the then Pak president Pervez Mushraf himself sought aslylum for two of Pakistan’s nuclear scientist in Maynamar. The two nuclear scietists were reported to have met Bin Laden with the secret of making a” dirty nuclear bomb” The names of these two Pakistani scientists are – Suleman Assa and Suleman Mukhtiar. Both the scientist were intialy put under house arrest and then they were allowed to fly out. Today with the help of North korea Mynamar is getting ready for the nuclear bomb. And for all these activities around the world who isthe master mind/ A.Q.Khan He is the free citizen of Pakistan and USA can do NOTHING .. It will keep on giving arems and money to ” MR.TEN PERCENT ” PRISIDENT OF PAKISTAN. USA does not want to do anything. It will continue it’s decption, double standard and delay in taking approriate action.

The “War on Terror” has finally found its way to India. This is the dark side of becoming a member of the globalization club. As a citizen of this country, I do not want to go to war. I see no purpose in sabre rattling either. India and Pakistan are on the same land. Any thing that happens to one will affect the other irrevocably. I do not wish our young people to lose their lives for the sake of any border or territory. The developed nations have got us in a terrible economic bind and they are now twisting our arms to meet their demands. Does India want an Iraq or Afghanistan on her hands. I do not and I am Indian. Every day now we are being filled with fear and anxiety. If normal times are so fearful, then war time will surely be unbearable. I say no to war, no to bullies who are shoving us into a war that none of us want. I say yes to extending our arms in inclusion, yes to dialogue, yes to seeing the similarities between our nations. I say yes to every citizen of India, of each and every religion, standing together, shoulder to shoulder, strengthening our spirit and extending the hand of friendship. I say yes to accountability in our actions and safeguarding ourselves against destruction. War is not a safeguard, war will only end the peace and wound the soul deeply. It will endanger all of us in this land of Gandhi. We must only pursue the path of ahimsa, because ‘every action has a reaction’.

War is no longer an option for India and Pakistan. The situation this time is very different compared to other recent wars (US vs. Afghanistan and Iraq, or Israel vs. Hamas) or even previous India-Pakistan wars. Both are densely populated countries sharing a huge borderline, and each has missile range that can reach the farthest parts of the other. The military capabilities of the two are somewhat comparable, although India definitely has an edge. Both are nuclear powers, and that is the scariest part.

It’s not a war that will stop with the destruction of militant targets. If it does stop that soon, it is useless anyway, as the forces that promote terrorism will ensure that it grows all over again. The only way a war will stop Pak-originated terrorism is if the blow is so crushing that Pakistan will not have the means to encourage terrorism in spite of all the post-war bitterness. And no doubt India can do that and win the war, since it can easily outlast Pakistan in people and firepower, but the combined human casualties (civilian included) and infrastructure damage could surpass the equivalent of a Mumbai bomb blast “every single day” for the next century. Put that in perspective. The classic Pyrrhean victory.

Economically and growth-wise, it’ll be a disaster for the two countries, especially for India – setting it back by at least a few decades. The world is no longer going to view India as an investment, outsourcing or off-shore target. It’ll become another troubled zone like some in the middle-east. The call centers will move back – as someone joked.

India and its government lives in a fools paradise if they think that the USA will in anyway force Pakistan to abandon its pro militant policy. It has lied since 1948 about its involvement in Kashmir. It will continue to do so with total impunity from USA. A.Q. Khan mastermind of the Nuclear trade is under house arrest. Now Pakistan claims they have militant leader under house arrest.
If Israel can retaliate why not India?

It may be helpful to recall that in 1962 India timed liberation of Goa before the general election. In 1971 India tried its best diplomatically before launching an attack on East Pakistan.
