Hi Mr Jawed, Personally, I think it is a very sad thing happening on the Indian continent. If this is a show of power or who have more balls, think again.. Nowadays, it is all about ECONOMICS. Just take Japan for example, even after the WWII defeat, look at where they are now. Isn't it amazing that the only country to have suffered actual atomic bombing were a member of the G8 that you are so pissed at...? Even China, the "uneasy neighbours" of Pakistan and India. Do you think they give a shit what's going on ? The last I went to Shenzhen, just looking at the fleet of S class Mercedes is enough to tell you that they have come out of the slumber and realize that they can be a true "superpower" in the world, not by might (nor atomic bomb), but by hard work and ECONOMICS. Don't blame the US for trying to talk Pakistan out of it. At least they have the resources to offer Pakistan compensation if they do not proceed with the nuclear bomb test. Ask yourself, who actually even think of India or Pakistan in terms of world economics ? I've talk to a lot of businessman in my country and none of them even think of getting into India (even though, they are probably the second most populous nation in the world). To them it was just not worth it. And then ask yourself again, how much job could have been created if the money used to BLOW UP your own country is WISELY invested. Just investing my 2 cents worth.
