India & Pakistan, both nuclear powers [each with over 20 nukes available] are 'rattling their
sabers' [metaphorically speaking] over Kashmir. Millions of combat troops on both sides are preparing to roll...And how do major American newspapers like "USA TODAY" and TV networks like CNN &
ABC, NBC, CBS play the story last week?
They made it a secondary news item
behind an Israeli security guard shooting a Palestinian dead and DC
police revealing Chandra Levy's bones found...GO FIGURE!

CIA and other analysts say that if both nations totally nuke each other, over 10 million will die in the first few days...maybe upto 150 million over several months time [due to lingering radiation, mutating disease germs,
starvation].
Before you say that that doesn't concern you, think again.
Radioactive clouds can and do drift around the world.
The west coast of North America would
be one of the first recipients of such deadly contamination.
I hope you've stocked up on bottled water, canned goods, iodine tablets, and have a gieger-counter handy.
