Nucelar War - Need some input.
 

I need some input for a short story i´m writting, nothing to do with adult websites.

Imagine that the president of Pakistan had a son who served as a soldier in the pakistani army in Kashmir and that the son was killed during a battle between Indian and Pakistani forces.
The Pakistani president is overwhelmed with grief and launches a nuclear missile at the Indian controlled part of Kashmir.
His second-in-command and other top officials in the Pakistani goverment acts quickly (but not before the missiles has been launced) and removes him from power.

How would the rest of world react?
How would India react (knowing that the president has already been removed)
How would the US react.
What would the media report and what angle would thet put on it.

Anything at all you could image would happen given the above scenario? I would like to hear it.

Looking forward to your interesting replies :-)

Everyone will nuke each other.

The End.

India would probably be forced to not do anything...

Naahh, it´s not that simple

That´s what I was thinking, but what would convience them to do nothing?
Would it be US/UN pressure and would they let be satisfied with "nothing" and just shrugh their shoulders ?

The US would tell them not too and they would listen

Whatever happened, the morons would blame it on Bush :error

we would have 2 less countries on the face of the earth to worry about..

Last I heard Pervez Musharraf's son lives in Chicago...might have to come up with another plot

that would be probably true:)

India would attack to some degree but would most likely not use nucs. The US, perhaps by proxy, would stike Pakistan and ensure their facilities are of any benifit.

I think the real question would be the stability of the area. What religions nations would or would not interact with each other? We have seen many examples in the Gulf of countries that would not fight because another country was there.

Would there be UN action and what nations would send forces?

Just as important, what countries care about that area? The US only gets involved if the area effected benifits them (oil etc). THink of Sudan and other areas that the rest of the world don't give a rats ass about.

Also, if the US was to get invovled how would they do so? Currently they do not have the man power to get involved in another major conflict. WOuld they pull out of Iraq? Draft people? If they did get involved would another conuntry (hopefully Canada as we have a few bones to pick with the US ;) ) attack them while their forces are depleted?

Then again what about England and the former USSR? USSR was interested in that area at one time.

Hope that gives you a little to think about. Good luck.
