Should the Willing support India invasion of Pakistan?

Speaking about nuclear, very interesting stuff happened also in the US during the cold war years..

Film crews filming in the radioactive test sites.. (One example being John Wayne who died to cancer as an effect, alongside most of his film crew of the time.)

Brigades of military personnel training in the nuclear fallout areas..

Another quite wild thing I saw in a document a few years ago was the secret experiments made by the US government in late 50's. They injected radioactive isotopes secretly in a test group of people to monitor long time effect of radiation to people..

Needless to say the effects were visible and the project was kept top secret untill it was finally revealed after 40 years.

It will be interesting to see if the truth of these wars will be released after the secrecy time expires, in 40 or so years.

Nobody filmed movies on the Nevada Test Site.  The whole area has been closed off and secured since they first built the site.  It's the same place that the CIA and Lockheed chose to build the Groom Lake airfield (aka Area 51 aka Dreamland).

There is some truth to what Siaf__csf posted about John Wayne. It happened during the filming of the movie "The Conqueror". Read the write up here on the film.

I'm sure you can find more about it on the web. This was the first hit that talked about it.

Cmon Crow, you know as well as we do they have to go through the proper forms first.

You know, to enter the "its ok to invade" club, Pakistan would have to :

-Invade a neighbor
-Ignore UN resolutions for 12 years
-Have vital resources or strategic importance
-Get the French, Russians and Germans on their payroll
-Hire Geraldo

Only then can they be legally invaded

No, because there is the potential for more loss of life than in WWII.

Of course that begs the question, why didn't that deter Bush?  We've been told of the tons of chemical and biological weapons that could have been unleashed by Saddam...if that had happeded in the major city conflicts, what would the death toll been?

BTW, thanks for the link on the nukes held by India and Pakistan.  I wonder how many of those Hiroshima size devices they each have.  No one seems to really know.

I think the scary part is that India has enough nuke material to make 1000 200+ kiloton thermonuclear weapons (and no one seems to have good intelligence as to how many high yeild weapons they have).  If they ever did make that many they would only be behind the US and Russia in arsenal size.
