You've got to be kidding me. Apparently it is a tradition: every January 1st since 1988, India and Pakistan have been sharing a list of their nuclear installations. How Sweet. And the best part of the treaty? Both countries agreed not to attack each others nuclear facilities. Awesome.

I guess then the people, on both side, would have to get blew up. Because their governments are not going to attack each other's nuclear facilities. The genius of this treaty eludes me.

I guess a far more honorable treaty would be: in the event of a war we make a solemn promise to first blow up each others' nuclear installations. And, btw, also not target the civilians in the cities. But this agreement has nothing to say about the civilian population, just the desert where we have our stockpile of nukes.

Awesome!
