He may be a Taliban sympathizer, but the above two stories the ones SSPGA posted does not prove it. He is a reporter and it is his duty to report. Seems like he is saying what he saw. If he is wrong consistently, he can be called incompetent at worst. Why unpatriotic? I can't see any malice...

BTW, seems like rediff is really doing a good job covering this. They are not relying (apparently) on news agencies for their reports. A larger story, this time with direct quotes. --------------------------- Obama wants to engage with India; sends PM letter: Rediff.com news Richard...

It does not matter what US says. US has absolutely no bargaining chip to offer India. Usually in relations between nations, either the deal has to benefit both countries or there is some give and take. Indian position has nothing much to give - It says we'll talk as soon as the Mumbai...

If Zardari can sort this out early enough and get some money for Pakistan through trade or some early payment from India on the gas pipeline, he may benefit from it. It is not solving Kashmir that will help, but the benefits of peace. Having the country hopeful about a peaceful future might...

Neo, that picture is from Iron man, in which also he had a role. A bigger,longer, more substantial one than in Star trek. In star trek, his ship gets attacked, he hands over command of ship and dies - all in the first few minutes. In Iron man, he gets to kidnap the hero, fires a bunch of guns...

Excellent. We should start teaching that game in kindergartens. Atleast the future generation will be fully prepared. But wait, you are in Canada ? Sorry, you can't prepare with us. Nuke plans for Canada are not yet ready. Wait another 20 years before India or Pakistan gets missiles with that...

I am working from the assumption that all regions within range of missiles are nuked out - both India and Pakistan. If any Nukes are left over, Pakistan can use it in Afghanistan and India in China. If there are still more missiles left they'll be sold on ebay to the highest bidder. Assuming...

Why does he want the money just before a nuclear attack ? Was his name Bombproof Billy or something ? :cheers:

The "need" does not work. People need the same thing everywhere more or less. (Maybe less need for freedom in a religious society, but that is debatable). A lot of people would want all this, but unless they somehow manage to set up a system which will deliver their wants it does not seem to...

Fire drills won't work. What would we do after the fires have stopped ? The air will be full of nuclear waste and radiation for another 10-20 years. We can't store food for 20 years in an underground shelter. Maybe if the Iran gas pipeline is still left alone, some could crawl through it to...

My belief is that in a democracy, as long as the 3 branches of the government, press and military (theoretically executive branch) do not have a balance of power, it is bound to fail. If the military is powerful, they'll take over. If it is the press that is powerful you'll see media moguls...

I see Democracy as something that is very difficult to sustain. US,Canada and Australia are probably the most continuous examples. (The last two being legally monarchies) . Europe went back and forth, and only after 1970 (Franco) has Western Europe been democratic. East block was arguably not...

For entertainment, India and Pakistani people can probably play Kabbadi or cricket. For reading try and keep a copy of "On the beach" Amazon.com: On the Beach: Nevil Shute: Books along with the applicable holy books. For those lazy to read, there is the DVD version On the Beach (1959) if you...

And since Microwave ovens, Gas stoves etc. are going to be difficult to come by, cooking of course will have to be done on a wood fire. People will also have to live on wild berries and animals, but they are quite edible if proper precautions are taken. Here is a list from US govt. authorities...

Dawn is reporting that US did ask India about restarting talks and India said "Yes, but wait". Again report only from Dawn, wait for confirmations, I guess. DAWN.COM | World | US asks India to resume talks with Pakistan

Your wish is my command (It will stay as long as mods don't take that too seriously :- ) http://www.defence.pk/forums/members-club/28056-surviving-nuclear-war.html

Pakistan has limited option due to narrow size of the country. But since India claims whole of J&K, and since India won't nuke its own territory, the smartest thing to do would be to move to parts of Kashmir under Pakistan control. There might be a bunch of Indians who got there trying to avoid...

Plan B for Indians. Pakistan Missile Arsenal According to the map a couple of Indian cities may be just out of reach of Pak missiles. So on the news of Nukes being launched, move to Trivandrum, Rameshwaram or Andaman. Trivandrum also has an airport and a rocket launching station (Tumba). So...

General instructions here 11 Steps to Nuclear War Fallout Survival That one is written for a Canadian audience so some of them, like "know your municipality" will not apply for South Asia. When your municipal officers won't recognize you when you go to talk of power shortage or lack of...

It seems like many threads nowadays end with a comment "We'll nuke you", "We should Nuke US" or "We'll Nuke you right back". I don't think we should let that be the last word. As a backup plan, I am starting a thread on surviving a nuclear war. We'll discuss how to cook food using woodfire...
