And we've spent all that time trying to avert a war between India and Pakistan...

Hmm, India /Pakistan

Cut the global population by 500M . Cut oil consuption by 3 mbpd.
Temporary reverse on global warming.

It would buy us another ten years.

Then China/Russia ? That would be good for another 20...

In one of the scarier, oh **** moments.

A Former Indian Minister of Defence, when told of Pakistans not very veiled threat to go nuclear, responded let them, they can 500million Indians, I'll kill Every Pakistani.

Or words to that effect.
