DUH! It has been clear for a long time that Iran was just stalling, and had no intention of even considering a suspension.

Indians lament that the US is the best ally of Pakistan allowing it to sow the seeds of discord in Kashmir and Punjab but they don't realize the in each and every war the US has provided direct or indirect support to Indian initiatives. Whether through deterring the ChiCom threat or withholding the fifth fleet in the Indian Ocean.

Were it not for the pro-Islamic Gandhi dynasty driven by the vegetarian pacifist crypto-communist castest ideals of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (known to sleep with his nieces) the world today would not have faced the Islamic threat that it does from the Iran / Pakistan nexus.

The Baluchis were in a low level revolt throughout the 70's and 80's. The minute that India tested the Smiling Buddha device in 1976 the Baluchi Revolution movement should have been armed to the teeth with funding from the Indian government.

In such a position Pakistan would have been dismembered into several satellite states of India, moderate-Muslim Baluchistan & Sindh and a landlocked extremest Punjab (Kashmir would have been recovered by India).

1976 was the time to BREAK the Islamic nuclear threat, but as ever the Gandhian pacifist ideals prevailed allowing the Mullahs to the East to develop their own Muslim doomsday device and also unleash a reign of terror in Punjab and Kashmir.

Today India, US and Israel face the DIRECT result of the Indian mindset which failed to seize the high-ground and vanquish the enemy in a fundamentalist terrorist nuclear Pakistan which is spread the WMD knowledge to North Korea and Iran.

All problems of USA today lie in the Indian weakness of 1976.

"All problems of USA today lie in the Indian weakness of 1976." Not to mention the American arming of the Mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan. I think you're putting too much onus on the "vegetarian" Gandhi-Nehru family and your claim that Gandhiji slept with his niece is unsubstantiated. The "smiling Buddha" was meant as a deterrent against China and I am not sure it was to go on the offensive against Pakistan. Even today, India doesn't need nukes to level Pakistan why would nukes have given it any more confidence at that time?

There's plenty of blame to go around - Jimmah could have kept his hands off Iran and we wouldn't have the Mullahs today - so many mistakes - so many mistakes... Bush could have stood with Putin and kept him from going to Iran... So many mistakes..

Do you feel Iran has the bomb? Where will the war go next?

MimirsWell,

The minute that Pakistan achieved nuclear parity with India in 1988 the Kashmir war was unleashed. Considering the history of that fruit-basket nation couldn't India have predicted this would happen in 1976? 1976 was an asymmetrical position - thats when its EASY to achieve major changes in the basic strategic position.

India could have ensured DECADES of peace by dividing Pakistan into several manageable states. If it had done this today there would have been no KASHMIR TERROR, PUNJAB TERROR, MUMBAI BOMBINGS, ISLAMIC BOMB - think about that.

Once symmetry was restored in 1988 once Pakistan basically laid the foundation for their nuke, back to Kashmir and India was hamstrung.

The US has ensured no hostile state close to it possess nukes. Dont blame the US for the problem which is in Indias neighborhood. India needs to take care of its own interests. Forget about Afghanistan China etc. 1976 India should have ended the Pakistan problem ONCE AND FOR ALL. That would have resolved a lot of problems for a lot of people around the world.

The problem has its routs in the post-Independance pacifist mindset and vegetarian movement of many Indians which still exists until today. The fact is that India didn't achieve Freedom through "Bapu Ji" spinning Indian cotton but THROUGH THE FEAR OF WIDESPREAD MASSACRES OF BRITISH OFFICERS. Ultimately all Freedom is won through the use of steel.

As for "Bapu Ji" sleeping nude with his nieces, I think its well documented and even accepted in India now. Hey, I'm not saying he actually did anything naughty, but thats one saucy old-man.

GOPJ,

Pakistan is Number 1 India's problem.

Forget Jinnah, forget Reagan, forget Clinton. With 30 years of brutality India had enough experience of these bastards and should have known in 1976 that its time to resolve the problem once and for all.

The fact that India didn't is to its shame.

As for Iran, yes - they have the bomb. We know it, they know we know it - and you know whats the worst part - just like India is hamstrung by Pakistan now the US is hamstrung by Iran. Theres nothing that can be done about it.

World is a MUCH more dangerous place because the Indian baniya hindu-muslim bhai-bhai mindset obsessed more with accumulating wealth and getting to heaven by avoiding the flesh of animals was to weak to confront Nuclear Islamic terror in 1976 when it could have been ended once and for all.

I would agree with you if not for the fact that there are several unknowns. A divided Pakistan might have ended up too poor and easy fodder for fundamental Islam. Bangladesh is yet to show us gratitude for emancipating them from Punjabi-Pakistani rule. The soviets would have conquered Afghanistan and what would have stopped them from washing their boots in the Arabian sea at Karachi had we divided Pakistan at that stage? Iran was Anti-US, the Americans would have no toe-hold to stop the Soviet invasion, and maybe they would have found it really easy to take us down as well. The "Great Game" played out between the Russian and British empires was for the control of India. At our borders, the Russians might not have been as friendly. History is full of what-ifs. I am willing to bet more on the future today for how it turned out. The Americans are more dissed with the Pakis everyday. Israel has a stake in destroying Paki and Iranian nukes. So does America and Europe. It is a matter of time before the tides turn against the Islamic states, including Pakistan. We just have to undo our "No First-use" policy for our nukes and then the Pakis will dance.
