India-Pakistan-Thailand-China - A Connection to all These Events?




We had to wonder - is there some deeper connection between all the chaos and negative events now coming out of India, Thailand, China and Pakistan? Is all of Asia - or just SE Asia - about to come apart at the seams? Or is it nuclear war between India and Pakistan? Next thing you know, we could be left to 2 to 3 billion dead. Or could we?




We know tensions have been pretty high between India and Pakistan for some time. The rest of the unbalance in SE Asia could also have some far-reaching effects. Was the Bush-Cheney Doctrine even half-right? Just centered on the wrong part of Asia?




Actually, some of these events have a longer history. If you look up images of Mumbai attacks on flickr.com, you go at least as far back as 2006. Pretty much the same with the Thailand civilian airport blockades. (Which we think is actually quite an amazing protest and spectacle. We are in awe of these people and their convictions.) And the tension between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir is over 60 years old. And, if the economy does collapse in China, what will they do? Will they be tempted - or even compelled - to seek resources from nearby Asia nations and declare all-out war?
