As you all know, India and Pakistan are in the midst of nuclear posturing and brinkmanship situation that if not halted, could wipe out whole populations. Pakistan alone has 30 nuclear warheads while India has twice that. And according to reports, each of these warheads can kill 112,000 people on impact alone, not to mention a few more thousand casualties during the after-effects during the next 24 hours that would follow as well as the long term effects on the environment that WILL affect the rest of us ( as you may recall, Mt. Pinatubo changed the weather conditions world wide and Chernobyl resulted in radiation that could be detected, albeit in small quantities, all the way here in the U.S. - the effects of these two events would be mere hiccups once compared to the effects of an all out nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan).
I estimate that given the current trend in the levels of psycho-political stress between the two countries, a nuclear war could begin by 7/Eleven/2002. And there is really only one thing the Global Community can do to prevent it. And that is to pressure China, whose population will suffer immensely if India vs. Pakistan becomes a reality, into intervening employing a warlike and threatening stance.
Specifically, here is what the U.S., Brittain, and the rest of the Global community must ask China to say to India and Pakistan: "If your two countries begin firing nukes against each other, our country will suffer immediate and major casualties due to the radiation that would affect our crops, animal life, and atmoshpere. If you two do not put down your nuclear weapons, we, China, will have to wipe both of you out!" I believe, this would do the trick of de-escalating the India-Pakistan tension to levels that would only be threatening to themselves but not the rest of the world. Do you agree? Of course you do.
