Tensions Mount Between India and Pakistan

Here's another thing... What if Pakistan doesn't use nukes against an Indian city, but against Indian troops in Kashmir? That would seem not only more justifiable -- if barely -- but easier. What would India do? A tit-for-tat attack on Pakistani troops? An attack on Pakistani territory?

My greatest fear is of China deciding to come into the conflict on Pakistan's side. That could in turn draw us into it, or the Russians. I don't think that will happen -- China isn't really that attached to Pakistan, it's just a tool -- but it's possible.

Meanwhile, we don't seem to be doing anything to head this off, and the British are recalling some of their diplomatic personnel from Pakistan.
