Both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers. The terrorists would like nothing more, than to start a nuclear war between the two countries and involve the US as well, starting WW 3.

India, Pakistan keep a lid on tensions. Political and economic realities mean there is little chance of a military standoff or full-blown war between the longtime rivals, analysts say.

Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, and New Delhi — Hostility between India and Pakistan is at its worst in years, but tensions stemming from last week’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai are unlikely to bloom into full-blown war between the nuclear-armed rivals — at least for now, according to analysts on both sides of the border.

But a combination of new political and economic realities, U.S. pressure and perhaps some lessons learned in the past have inhibited a rush to open conflict.

Any war would be financially devastating, especially at a time of worldwide economic downturn.

“No one can afford it,” said Abhay Matkar, a former Indian army major in Mumbai. “Both countries are not ready for war, and it will not happen.”

I don’t see a problem with this at all. India has the ability to completely annihilate Pakistan and that’s the right and just outcome. Pakistan is a Peoria state and this crap isn’t going to stop until there is nothing left but glowing glass. dont

There would be no reason for us or ant other nation to get involved... And no, I don’t give a shiite about any “good” Pakistanis, if there are any.

Ya think?

Hoax phone call 'almost took Pakistan to war'

[Carley]

It almost seems as tho the actors were intent upon causing a nuclear showdown between Pak and India.

Rice: Shut up and go away!!!

“non-state actors” would seem to be Orwell-speak for Islamofascists such as the Wahabbi and their ilk. Why not openly say who they are? Until we’re willing to do so it is difficult to see how our leaders can lead us to victory.

""I think there is no doubt that Pakistani territory was used by probably non-state actors. I don't think that there is compelling evidence of involvement of Pakistani officials," Rice said."

What proof do you have to support that statement, mz Rice? None. I thought so. In fact, actions by the Paki-Stan "government" in the past only support suspicion of the opposite, that "government officials" did indeed not only turn a blind eye to what these "actors' were doing, but participated in helping them.

The government of Paki-Stan must be made to clearly choose whose side they are on, that of a world free from terrorism based on what is claimed to be a "twisted form of Islam" or one which supports this "twisted form of Islam".

If the later, then the UK's grave mistake of creating a terrorist nation from land rightfully belonging to India must be purged of this "twisted form of Islam" and rightfully reclaimed by India as part of it's sovereign territory.

India has been subjected to 1400 years of Islamic aggression. It is time for the world to put an end to this never ending expansionism of Islam, which has left a trail of blood and trenches filled with mutilated skeletons from the times when it left it's region of origion, after it's creator declared a never ending war on all mankind that would last thoughout the ages until it either conquored the entire world for it's rock god NAMED "Allah", or until the last day.

"Allah" be damned, and may the rock god's evil pedophile and mass murdering thief of a self appointed profit burn in hell forevermore, along with this cults followers.

non-state actors??? non-state actors?? they’re terrorists!

[Gritty]

"Non-state actors"?

*smirk*

Whatever happened to their nearly universal description in our fiercely descriptive and accurate media as "militants"?

Is Rice trying to blur the lines of who the real enemy is here? /s/

[ajay_kumar]

Are the illegals in US "Non-State-Actors"?

[familyop]

"Rice: 'non-state actors' may have used Pakistan for India attacks"

Yeah...sure...uhuh. India should nuke Pakistan post-haste.

[pointsal]

Dear Condie....

So what, the Pakistani government has allowed the fellows to exist and multiply. Damn them all. End the high jinks...blast them all to eternal damnation.

"I think there is no doubt that Pakistani territory was used by probably non-state actors. I don't think that there is compelling evidence of involvement of Pakistani officials," Rice said.

That may be true. But Pakistan did offer them sanctuary and protection. That's 'involvement' enough for me. Last chance to choose the right before other forces are released to clean out the terrorists. That option will probably have large collateral damage losses of innocent people caught in the crossfire.

Make Mecca like Hiroshima. Problem over. Attack the real enemy for a change.

Just the idea of Pakistan having nukes motivates a lot of people to start building shelters.

Question: does anyone know if we - or better yet - the Russians - have missiles aimed at Pakistan? If not why not.
