    This is getting scary...
    ---------------
    NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Pakistan told India on Friday it would be conducting missile tests over the weekend, but New Delhi said it was "not particularly impressed by these missile antics."

    The tests, which India said were "routine" and intended to impress a domestic audience in Pakistan, will be conducted from Saturday to Tuesday.

    In the past, the two nuclear powers routinely have informed each other of impending tests. But political observers say the timing of the event is causing concern. Brahma Chellaney -- one of the top strategic analysts in India -- said Pakistan's move is "certainly a provocative action."

    Kinda like when we were testing Nukes at the same time the U.S.S.R. was installing them in Cuba. Granted that the players in this game are not quite as civillized as their Cold War counterparts, but it's already been proven that the threat of Nuclear war is a powerful deterence to actully using them.

    India would kick Pakistans ass if they went to war. India is massesing troops on the border in preperation for "A decissive Victory", and Pakistan is just reminding them what the consequences of invasion just might be.

    I hope it does not come down to a war between those nations, but if it does it's their own fualt.

    Well the "civilized" nature of people could be debated. But I agree only bad things would happen if war broke out. If that started and war broke out in the middle east.....WWIII anyone?

    Getting closer... watch for the balloon to go up soon.
    ------------------------------
    Diplomats and their dependents would be advised to leave, as would the 60,000 or so Americans who live in the South Asian country.

    A Bush administration official said Secretary of State Colin Powell's decision is imminent. Other officials said it is percolating through the bureaucracy.

    India regularly warns the State Department of preparations for war with Pakistan because of the influx of Islamic extremists into the Indian side of disputed Kashmir, said a senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

    While India has not indicated a timetable, the administration takes the warnings seriously.

    On Thursday, President Bush dispatched top American officials to the region.

    And now we are sending military to the region.

    Some times I think it might be better if we just step back and let them blow eachother the fuk up.

    Pull out the region, our people, our diplomats, our military. And just tell them. You wanna kill eachother? Go right fucking ahead. We won't do anything to stop you and we won't send any aide, now or when the war is over. Nuke away.

    Maybe 15000 years from now when the place is inhabitable again we can turn it into a nice resort or something.

    You figure the chinese would be doing everthing in their power to stop this b/c, well shit, if there is a nuke war, there's a pretty good chance the cloud would blow into china.

    Sometimes I think maybe it would just be best if just said, "fuck it" if you want to do it, go right ahead, you're on your own.

    Some interesting quotes that I feel aply here:

    "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe."
    - H. G. Wells (1866-1946)

    "Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so."
    - Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

    "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."
    - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

    And finally, from a great philosopher :D :

    "There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life."
    - Frank Zappa

    "The only thing that peace can lead to is war."

    -- Diablo (1) instruction manuel quote.

    Its just too bad that the stupid people have the ability to start WWIII.

    Sad thing is, after WWIII the 30 people that are still alive will probably find something to fight about and wind up killing eachother.

    You ever think the world would be a better place without humans?
