ever since the Mumbai hotel siege, we have been hearing constant war talk. sometimes it goes cold and then hot again. India had talked of attacking Pakistan unilaterally, according to some of the local newspapers here. Pakistan has said that it would defend its borders. Pakistan has urged for peace several times and has said that its insistence on peace should not be taken for weakness. Sonia Gandhi has said almost the same words. and yet the tension continues.

part of this indian aggression could be attributed to the fact that india thinks that it is now a super power. that it can do anything and, like the United States, no one will say anything. part of it has to do with the Indian media. so is India really thinking of acting unilaterally? or is all the hot talk just singing along the media?

here is the situation. both the countries have nuclear capabilities. both can deliver these weapons to huge distance. the use of nuclear weapons in this case would be disastrous. there would be countless deaths. Is a Nuclear Holocaust is what is wanted by the Indian Media or by the Indian Politicians?

whoever fires the first shots will be responsible for all the deaths that this war would bring. people’s lives, not superficial patriotism, is what they should be focusing on.
