hey tim,
maybe you remember me from the early days of cypherpunks@toad.com. just wanted to butt in here and reply to your post which i saw forwarded to some other list... it beats me why americans and the western media generally likes to get worried about the "most dangerous spot in the world" and "next nuclear warzone" that is south asia, given that everyone in india and pakistan knows neither country will use any nuclear weapons. the border population density is too great in both countries and population centres close enough that any major attack by one country on the other will have a direct fallout on both (taking delivery range into account).
I do not believe that either regime cares about human lives. Their only concern about nuclear weapons is the potential for taking out the leadership. --digsig James A.
