Atomic Bomb!

Good pictorial and story, TimeParticle.

Pakistan is one of the first countries formed on a religious basis, although I suppose Israel was too.

India and Pakistan could very well take their differences in culture, the afterlife, and form of government into the afterlife, but it seems that they have kind of worked things out. We'll have to ask Mohan for an update.

Thanks for the pictures of the "abomination of desolation" What will be the next great scientific discovery that will be misused by man? And how much more powerfull will it be? It seems to be, at least, possible that science, in the very short term, could understand and have access to atomic energy in a new way. Unlimited, clean, nuclear energy. Will it be misused for even more terrible weapons of mass distruction and war?
...they were so absorbed with the question of whether they could...they didn't stop to think about whether they should...
Maybe we shouldn't push ahead until mankind is mature enough to accept these gifts and use them only for peaceful means.

What are the ethics of giving a child something it can hurt itself with?

Hi Jag

I think it has gone to far out there with the information available to ever think the kids could not get it.

"the lion and the tiger lie down with the lamb when there is no need ... to do else-wise."

ethical ponder may be the facing of responsibility that comes with knowledge,
feed the hungry,
give them fish hooks and how to catch fish,
tools to till the soil,
seed to plant it,
education for hope of betterment, medical care for the sick ... and last of all,
no tolerance for the "just mean at heart" nor the ones who raised such... as both the son and the parent gave up there humanity to be such as a matter of there choice and,

I personally see no reason not to oblige them gentleman that I am... IMHO sage

There is not much cultural difference inside India, should not forget India is one of the only secular country in the world.

And India would of course not use nuclear bombs. We have always been a peace loving country, for instance India had almost captured Islamabad in 1971, but after negotiations we backed off.

If Pakistan co- operates in the investigations and hand the terrorists over, if they have them. Then there is no chance there can be a war. Even if they don't I'm not sure there will be a war. There is a lot of international pressure on Pakistan right now to co- operate in the investigations, which they are apparently refusing to do.

And yeah, India has always worked things out, that's why Pakistan is still there. Okay, now I went too far.

That was the updates from Mohan...

peace,
