Posturing, or the start of the Big One in SE Asia?

What would happen in the USA if they do go nuke? How big are the bombs? Would it affect our air/water?

It's just posturing. Within two weeks this will die down until the next time the Indian population gets pissed at a terrorist attack.

Pakistan and human rights activists accuse Indian security forces of raping and torturing Kashmir's Muslims and executing Islamic militants instead of detaining them.

Muslims accusing non-muslims of masacres... I think I'll take the word of the Indians on this one.

Substitute India for Israel and Pakistan for "palestine". Same strategy-different location. Except this location would greatly help China make a move on Taiwan or the shipping lanes.

BTW, if Musharraf puts all of his forces on the border, who's left to contain the jihadists and prevent his overthrow? It could be that Bush is talking to Putin about a lot more than a new ABM agreement...

What's your take on this?

I can't type mine, I fear it would be nuked for profanity...
