One of my favorite quotes about wars is
“A war does not decide who is right, it only decides who is left”
No sane person wants to see another world war, but at the same time it is ludicrous to say that there won’t be any wars in the future, unless and until the whole world starts following Buddhism!
The Scenario
The news we see everyday, the news we read everyday, the news we hear everyday is filled with how one country is pitted against the other, how one group wants to finish the other, ethnic violence, religious violence, racism, ideological violence, political violence and what not…
And enter Al Qaeda and Pakistan’s home grown breed of terrorists, kahani mein twist, a twist in the story…. Now its not just the political leadership of countries that can start a war, even terrorist groups can initiate one! The threat is not about sophisticated nuclear arsenals and delivery systems of US or Russia, but its more about dirty nukes in the hands of terrorists!
US and allies have waged a war on terror, Pakistan’s Musharraff is playing the game of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds, China is uneasy over Taiwan, Israel is watching Iran, Russia is irritated over UK, AlQaeda wants to wipe out the civilized world..
What are the possible flashpoints to trigger a third world war? Well, I am not a pessimist, but the triggers do very much exist in the world today. So as a member of a responsible(?) species with a duty towards its own species and more towards the planet, we have to identify all these triggers and not just TRY to put them off, but have to LITERALLY PUT THEM OFF..
The List
So here is the list, in the reverse order from the lowest to the highest probability of occurrence..
5. Musharraff overthrown by fundamental elements in Pakistan, a preemptive strike on Pakistani military facilities by India, An entry by China to assist Pakistan, US enters to support India, North Korea enters to support China, Japan enters to support India…..
4. US missile defense installations in Czech and Poland cause Russia to deploy ICBM missiles in its European borders, a misunderstood testing by the US systems in Poland or Czech is all that it takes to trigger a global escalation..
3. Taiwan declares Independence, China forcefully tries to annexe Taiwan, US strikes China, Russia enters the war, Japan enters the war, North Korea, South Korea….
2. Realizing the fear of acquisition of a nuclear weapon by Iran, Israel strikes Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran retaliates and the US enters into the equation…
1. A dirty nuke exploded by a terrorist group in any of the major western cities! Say US, and US reacts, and reacts strongly, on the root, the root as usual leads to Pakistan, enter China, India forced into the war, and then Russia, parallel ignition by Iran on the Israel….
The Solution
First of all, for heavens sake all countries should get rid of all their nuclear weapons. If not humans, at least other species should be allowed to survive on this planet after a world war.. All nuclear weapons should be disposed immediately and the process should be started in the order mentioned – USA, Russia, France, China, UK, India, Pakistan, Israel..
This ensures that even if there is a war, innocent people wont die, at least not in the number of millions. Let the wars not target any civilian locations. Nuclear fuel is meant to generate electrical power inside the nuclear reactors and let us stick to that use…
Fundamentalism should be wiped out of this planet, rather than trying to wipe out the terrorists.. All young kids all over the planet should be given proper civilized education and should be protected from being brainwashed by the fundamentalists..
It is a known fact that USA used fundamentalist terrorist elements against USSR during the cold war.. Pakistan is using them against India… This should not be allowed to continue any more…
Any regime supporting terrorist or fundamentalist elements should be thrown out and democratic institutions should be installed all over the globe. Every country’s fate should be decided by its own people and not by dictatorial regimes..
Having said all this, does it sound practical enough? Will US and other countries give up their nuclear arsenal? Can we prevent terrorist organizations from misguiding and recruiting youth?
Hope is a very beautiful and promising word, isn’t it?
Let us hope that the hope for a better future ultimately prevails..
Let us hope that the future generations on this planet will refer to the above mentioned list of flash points as, possible world war or nuclear flash points that once existed in this world, like the way how we today refer to the Cuban missile crisis as a possible nuclear flash point that once existed during the days of the cold war…

Divide Pakistan to Eliminate Terrorism?! Sunday, Mar 11 2007
India and kashmir and pakistan and terrorism 6:44 pm
A great presentation by Syed Jamaluddin, the author of ‘Divide Pakistan to Eliminate Terror’ sent by one of the blog readers…
Syed Jamaluddin himself was born in pakistan but now lives in france I believe..
As the whole world is aware today, the root of every single jehad based terrorist attack in any part of this world has been traced back to pakistan, be it 9/11 or london train blasts or mumbai blasts…
The author suggests dividing pakistan into 4 pieces (Sindhudesh, Jinnahpur, Punjabistan , Pakhtoonistan and Independent Kashmir, ) to eliminate terror from this planet
The author says, thanks to India, people of west pakistan who were harrassed and tortured by pakistan became an independent nation called Bangladesh in 1971. But what about rest of its provinces who are craving for independence but are suppressed by the ISI and pakistani military? Sinidhis in pakistan want independence, so do baluchis, pasjtuns, punjabis, mohajeers, ppl of POK, baltistan, gilgit, you name it….
Look at sites like: http://www.sindhudesh.com/
Video Link: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11fsw_dividepakistanpresentation2007final
Blog link: http://www.dividepakistan.blogspot.com/
The following petition by him at http://www.petitiononline.com/PAK47/petition.html explains his idea as to how dividing pakistan will eliminate terror from this planet….
Freedom Fighters?? What about this list? Saturday, Mar 10 2007
India and kashmir and pakistan and Politics and terrorism 2:22 pm
The pakistani version of its terrorism support in Kashmir has always been on the grounds that its providing support for the freedom movement in Kashmir….
Okie, if that is the case then what explanation can it provide for the freedom movements in its own soil??
In Baluchistan its army and airforce strikes recently killed the baluchi leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti who was fighting for the liberation of Baluchistan. People in Baluchistan and North-West of Pakistan have been fighting for their independence since 1947!!!!
Next we have Sindh, look at this site http://www.sindhudesh.com/sindhudesh/index.html
People of pakistan’s Sindh province have been fighting for the independece of Sindh..
Then we have the live example of how Bangladesh fought (of course with India’s help) and achieved its freedom from the pakistani attorcities….
Next comes the freedom movement in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK)..
POK is one of the least developed highly neglected parts of pakistan. Neither is this part azad as pak claims nor are there very many ethnic kashmiris today due to pak’s ethnic cleansing there…

We also have Balwaristan in Pakistan wanting to get out of the mess http://www.fisiusa.org/fisi_News_items/news249.htm
What is your say on these freedom fighters Mr Musharraff? Support terrorism outside Pak in the name of freedom fight and when it comes to true struggle for independence in your own country, suppress it with force??
It was pakistan which broke apart again after independence due to its attrocities, Bangladesh was a successful movement because people of Bangladesh wanted it, unlike Kashmir.. Note that there was more military presence of Pak in Bangladesh then, than what India has in Kashmir today, and still Pakistan broke into two pieces…
Wish atleast now they will give up terrorism and any operation TOPAC like nonesense ideas and instead work towards the upliftment of their people..
