The monsoon season didn't hit the Indian Subcontinent this summer. Actually that whole region is still parched and aching for rain. Why, you might ask, should you care? Well, considering that this little weather anomaly is not natural, we all should be very concerned.

For the uninformed, last summer India and Pakistan had what one might only call a pointless, useless, unnecessary (getting my point?) show of strength. With nuclear weapons. Of course this did not make the headlines in the U.S. because it, unfortunately, coincided with the heyday of the Clinton - Monica fiasco. Which by the way has uncannily superseded a number of important world events. Not that I resent this, at all. Anyway, back to the topic at hand - yes, the show of strength, the manly flexing of nuclear weapons, was initiated by India. They decided that they needed to detonate a few nuclear weapons to get models for their computer simulators. Don't ask me why they needed this, they obviously felt that it was necessary. This in itself, I suppose, wasn't so bad; it was rather their choice of a testing ground that left much to be desired. Yup - you guessed it. They detonated six nuclear weapons right next to the Pakistan border.

Of course Pakistan took this as a mortal and immediate threat and decided, within the week, to detonate seven nuclear weapons close to the border of Afghanistan. How they arrived at this conclusion and this location I have not the slightest clue. What they were thinking when they decided to bomb themselves is an other mystery. I suspect however it went along the lines of "oh yeah, if you can punch yourself in the eye, so can we, and we can even do it one more time than you can!" Thank whatever power that is watching over that particular region that the Afghans didn't fall into this domino effect, maybe it's because they have no nuclear weapons.

The net result of this little demonstration was a whole lot of radiation being spilled on a lot of innocent, unsuspecting people. Only one of these nuclear warheads was twice the size of the bomb that the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima. Since these explosions the weather patterns in this region have gone wacko. Coincidence? I don't think so. Neither government has yet to release casualty reports, but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers are staggering. So far everything is being kept very hush, hush. But the weather doesn't seem to be in on the pact because it is very telling.

I hate to spread bad news but it has to be said, not that it hasn't been said before, we are cutting the branch that we are sitting on people! This is stupid. If I was a super intelligent alien type creature watching us from above, I'd laugh my green little self on to the floor. The moral of the story: become aware of what is going on in the world. Awareness is good, knowledge is good, these are steps in the right direction. Eventually we may even be able to fix some of these problems.
