temperatures inside tanks reaching 160FNo AC in those Russian tanks either.
Gen Karim, a Muslim who fought in two of India's three wars against Pakistan, in 1965 and 1971, added: "There is no point in restricting our options indefinitely. We need to chalk out a strategy and strike at a time and place of our choosing.
This is the type of Muslim we need more of! A General, no less. I guess those Fascist, Kali worshipping Hindus let this one get by.
The Monsoon factor is the best one yet for postponing this war; inja scores some brownie points with the US for acting with restraint and maturity.

Dunno, hadn't thought about it, maybe somebody here will enlighten us as to what happens to the wind patterns after monsoon...

Do you think all Indians worship Kali? Or are just another racist redneck? Have you been to India? Or is it just some 7/11 clerk dissed you?

If India and Pakistan were to square off, I find myself wondering what would stop a nuclear exchange.
The Pakistanis often seem consumed by hatred of India and its people. A few have been quoted as wanting to see India suffer nuclear bombardment even if it meant that Pakistan would be annihilated completely. It would be absurd to expect India to refrain from retaliating, if it were struck with a weapon of mass destruction.
The Communist Chinese would be ready and willing to play Fortinbras in the event. The United States would literally have to stand in their way to prevent it -- but would the American people back such a play? Would we be willing to have American power on the line out there, with American servicemen possibly exposed to the effects of a nuclear exchange, just to protect the Indians and Pakistanis from the full consequences of their homicidal lunacy?
It would be the first war between two nuclear-armed nations, with no proxies intervening. Pray that it won't happen. I do.

To: BullDog108
er...just a suggestion, but read his profile. Unless you left the /sarcasm off your post...

i always forget to close my tags ;^)
To: BullDog108
Good answer!
To: Black Agnes
I think he was referring to the prevailing winds possibly blowing the radiation back into India. Assuming the possible nuclear exchange takes place.
To: fporretto; swarthyguy
(correct me if I'm wrong...) IMHO, the reason the Pakistanis hate the Indians is that once a land is 'Islamic' it can never revert to being nonislamic. India was conquered(partially?) by the Arabs in the early middle ages but the Indians for the most part threw them out. Muslims have never forgotten. Islam views countries as either 'Dar el Islam' (within Islam, like Saudi, Pakistan, Jordan,etc) or 'Dar el Harb' (literally 'house of war'). Their goal is world domination, make no mistake about that. Wherever there isn't Islam, there is 'war'.

"Do you think all Indians worship Kali? Or are just another racist redneck? Have you been to India? Or is it just some 7/11 clerk dissed you?"
He was joking around....he's actually making fun of racist rednecks who assume all Indians are the guy who shot Gandhi. The only Kali worshippers I know of are the Thuggee, and they were pretty much wiped out by the British Empire afaik. Thuggee is where the term "thug" originates...etymology is fun!
