Bush the supporter of terrorism...

[p_p_man]

Pakistan. So recently the staunch ally of America in Bush's 'war' on terrorism, and so recently the untouchable as far as the States were concerned.

It's nothing new that Bush can swing from enemy to ally in a couple of rhetorical statements, but how is he going to justify his near support of a State that supports terrorism?

On one border Pakistan has aided Bush, but on the other it has given a home to the Islamic insurgents that have murdered thousands of Indian Kashmiris.

Sound familiar?

If we were talking about Iraq, we all known how Bush would interpret it.

But as this 'war' is driven by American internal politics he won't do a thing.

Don't you wonder why Bush has singlehandedly made America into a country that can't be trusted?

Uncle PP you do know what is going to happen soon between India and Pakistan right? You understand that they both have nukes?

Which country would you rather back? We are using Pakistan, we need India to hold the region together. Rock / USA / Hard Place.

So hows things?

It's probably one of the worse things I'm ever likely to say but...

I sometimes think that if Pakistan and India go to war and the war turns nuclear, that may, in the long run be timely lesson for Mankind.

It's been many years now since Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the memory of what those two bombs did fade with time. Those of us who were born during or just after the Second World War lived through the debate over those nuclear bombs, we lived through the anti-nuclear protests, we lived through the Cuban crisis. But with each passing year our own memories fade.

Those of you born in the 60s and onwards have even a vaguer idea of what nuclear destruction really means. You've read about in books, seen it on film and studied fading photographic images.

None of us any more can really know what it's like.

We've grown complacent.

Some of the youngbloods on Lit who bandy phrases around like 'nuke 'em' are even further away from the knowledge of what 'nuke 'em' really means.

So it may not be a bad thing for India and Pakistan to kill millions of people both through blasts and fallout just to remind us that nuclear weapons are not toys for the boys.

They are evil tools of destruction.

The lesson will be seen by friend and foe alike and the loose nuclear rhetoric which falls so easily from the lips may at last dry up and Man can take a further step towards banning them altogether...

Yep, every 50 years or so, we need a good nuking to remind us of the horror and tragedy of nuculear weapons. That will teach us not to nuke more often than every 50 years or so.

C'mon pp, you're embarrassing yourself more than you did when you named yourself "PP man". (pee pee is American Child for urine).

Actually, you can't know what it was really like unless you were there. Maybe you should be nuked.

As I said that was probably the worst Post I'll ever make.

This is the second...

Frankly, the world is paying for inept foreign policy from the major powers especially America and Britain.

I don't think any country can have a 'foreign policy' as such. There are just too many variables at any one time for a policy to be formulated and kept to from beginning to end.

Britain and America (and others) more than likely just lose the plots rather than have bad foreign policies...

They are controlled by events rather than have control over them...

War is always stupid, and our endless desire to make them happen is the biggest fault of humanity.

In the face of that, why quibble about the fine points of where the lines on the map are?

I will never understand blind nationalism.

ALL animals are territorial. Humans have fought over real estate since the dawn of their existence, and will no doubt usher the end of the planet out the same way.....unlesss we get smart.

Given the history of mankind, religious, ethnic, and even regional "tolerance" is a somewhat new concept. It seems we're always in conflict over something, or someone, or both!

However, nations have a right -- if not an obligation -- to act in their own self-interest, and to preserve for future generations their cultures and way of life....and their real estate assets.

So, we create boudaries and defend them.

It's also possible we may blow our planet apart someday fighting over who has what dirt.

Let's hope future generations are smarter than we are.

Mornin', or afternoon here.

Well explain to me his support of Pakistan then, or rather his lack of anti-Pakistani rhetoric...

He is an idiot. I voted for Gore.

As you know, India has been a traditional ally of the United States for some time. It is not only a democracy, but but a huge country that has been a political buffer during the Cold War, and recently a buffer to China in the UN and other regional organizations.

However, right now, we need Pakistan very badly. It is also true that Pakistan is loaded with its own Islamic fundamentalists, and is a potential breeding ground for terrorism right next door to Afghanistan -- already a terrorist incubator for Islam's militant petri dish of wierdos, malcontents, and spoiled rich kids looking for adventure.

I think you'll also find that since Clinton pretty much allowed India and Pakistan to violate their nuclear constraint agreements with us, and have become nuclear powers, it is in our interest -- and that of the world -- that we have ally status with BOTH nations.

Hopefully, we can prevent the deaths of millions of people by trying to keep the two countries from obliterating each other or causing each other's citizens to glow in the dark for -- say -- about 100 years.

It's not a potential breeding ground for terrorism. It is a breeding ground for terrorism.

So the situation with Pakistan has shown what a sham Bush's 'war' on terrorism really is. No wonder support is dropping off.

Mind you a lot of people knew that already. This just spreads the word that little bit faster.
