India Urges Self-Defense, Pakistan Vows to Retaliate
Lovely. Just lovely.
Well, I suppose if it continues this way, we won't have to worry about that nasty arms race in South Asia for long. There won't be any South Asia left to worry about.
You know, an independent Kashmir would almost be the best thing for the two of them. Ideally, it would take not only Kashmir itself, but also several miles alongside the border of each country all the way to the ocean. A nice little buffer zone to keep them away from each other until they learn to play nicely with their bombs. (Or better yet, to stop thinking of playing with them at all.). Unfortunately, any such state would have to be a virtual garrison state, nothing but army threatening each side with pyrrhic losses should they even think of crossing the borders.
