The Forthcoming Nuclear Holocaust
(vil)
THE FORTHCOMING NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST At the cost of being called a doomsday sayer, I think, we?re staring at a nuclear holocaust that will kill a majority of us Indians in the not-too-distant future. It may be politically incorrect for all of us to accept the hypothesis of ?Clash of Civilizations? postulated by Samuel Huntington, which clearly predicts the final battle between the believers (read ?Muslims?) and non-believers (read ?rest of us kafirs?). However, it would be a stupid of us to dispel the following irrefutable facts: 1. The genesis, survival and destiny of Pakistan lies in hating and annihilating Hindu India, even if Kashmir is offered to them in a platter. No wonder, Pakistan has been waging a war of thousand cuts on India and has always refused to sign the agreement on ?No First Use? of nukes against us. It is only fools who believe that Pakistan has changed its DNA of hatred against India and only last month, Pakistan mentioned its policy quite clearly. ?If Pakistan is hit by any nuclear attack, it would attack India with nuclear arms, irrespective of anyone being the aggressor?. With such demented mindset, what can you expect? Kutte ke poonch tedi hee rahegi. 2. The recent claims of ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Nawaz Sharif in his book have buttressed this line of action. To quote him, ?The American Prez told me that Pakistani nuclear warheads have been moved so that these could be used against India in the1999 Kargil war. I was asked if I was aware of it? It was very irresponsible thing by General Musharraf.? Even if one discounts Nawaz Sharif?s claims by his intentions of maligning peace loving Prez Musharraf, there has been no rejoinder from US administration or even Bill Clinton which clearly shows that whatever has been revealed by Nawaz Sharif is correct. ?Musharraf has himself said that he is more of a commando. That is equivalent to be being a terrorist?, Nawaz Sharif says in his book 3. With recent testing of a barrage of ICBMs by North Korea, on the 4th of July, suitably aided and abetted by China and Russia, there?s one more candidate for the nuclear club. North Korea has made it very clear that their Teapodong missiles can reach Alaska, USA. With a communist Kim IL Sung and the nuke button at his disposal, neighbors Japan and South Korea would be soon coming forth with their own missiles and nuclear warheads -- with or without the support of USA. Now, whatever direct deal may take place between US and North Korea, one fact shall always remain clear -- North Korea has the capability, intention and the means to make nuclear bombs and the delivery systems that they plan to use, whenever they feel necessary -- sanctions by UN be damned! That Pyongyang is unbowed and planning more tests indicates their resolutions and intentions. 4. China is already preparing to have a tête-à-tête with US on Taiwan. They?ve probably more nukes than US and are ready for an imminent showdown. Of course, some of these nukes are tilted towards Indian cities and capable of carrying nuclear warheads to strike any Indian city is a foregone conclusion. In a war between India and Pakistan, China will ally with Pakistan to decimate their long-term adversary, India for their complete domination of Asia, nay the whole world, while US will watch benignly and minding their own interests. With Chinese economy reaching higher than that of US, their intentions to become top global superpower is not too far-fetched. 5. Iran has not agreed to rechet down their jingoistic plans to have an Iranian bomb. With Iraq war, Iran has got the need and the opportunity to get a bomb of their own for self-defence purposes and there?s no way that they will be stopped in their tracks. 6. With Iranian success, do you think Saudi Arabia; the fort of Wahabi Islam will be left behind without having them nukes? No way! Ably assisted by scientists from Pakistan and China, Saudi Arabia will have itsown nukes tested in no time. With the world?s oil supply in their hands, they will blackmail the world to accept their nukes in self-defence. 7. Once US are out of Iraq, the Islamists there?ll go for them nukes, just like the Iranians. Once Iraq, Iran, Saudi and Pakistan have the bomb, why should Egypt, Israel and South Africa be left behind? They too shall join the nuclear club. 8. With Al-Qaeda openly showing that if they had the n-bomb, they would have used them in 9/11 attacks, the Islamic bomb falling into the hands of Al-Qaeda is not only a distant possibility, in fact, an eventuality. US is most scared of a dirty bomb reaching into the hands of the terrorists. 9. With so many members of the nuclear club, it would not merely be an accident but a clear decision to use the nukes ? sooner than later -- to settle some scores. Finally, why India? US has already secured itself with Patriot missiles and is continuously taking more stringent steps. Europe will not be the battleground for the 3rd World War; Africa is out of contention. All that remains is Asia. And, within Asia, if you look around from Middle-East to Indonesia, which place do you think will be the possible battle-field of nuclear toys? India, of course!
