The reason US has nukes is becuase we are a stable country, that is, not in prone to civil war. The reason america has a problem with anyone else having nukes is the same reason everyone does, we think we have better control over them, with layers of secuirty preventing one person from launching them.

I'm writing a paper for about the Human face of climate change, focussing on the Maldives and sea level rises. I would be grateful if you have any resources from the 1989 conference. Since it was in the pre web era, its impossible to find any information. Thank you This was such a good article.

India may have launched 10 satellites in 1 go and Pakistan may have nuclear weapons, but the sad reality is that these are 3rd world dung heaps. India has nearly 1/2 billion poor, more than the combined populations of USA and Indonesia. Most of Pakistan is a 3rd world mud pool. The only reason these 2 dirt holes can have any benefit of nuclear weapons is to control their own population which combined, constitute 1/6th of the world population. This is a clear case of 2 European-mimic civilizations trying to keep up with the Jones’s (the Joneses being the White back-holes). India and Pakistan are 2 dirt poor 3rd world countries.

Very often stories about women's suffering are told by men, and no matter how empathetic or supportive they are, men cannot capture the whole story.

No wonder, it has been made by a man. Now if a woman made this comparison, the outcome would be a whole lot different. But then, cartoon animations is an industry dominated by men who won't allow a talented woman to come up to make a story on their own. This is so sexist and stereotypical.

This caricature was originally conceived a few years ago by two South Asian journalist friends, Beena Sarwar (a woman) and Kunda Dixit (a man). Like many of us, they were simply tired and disgusted of the tribal and male posturing of politicians and generals in both India and Pakistan, whose behaviour is fundamentally no different from two immature boys trying to out-piss each other!
