MUNIR Akram`s fear expressed in his article `The winds of nuclear war` (Dec 24) about a nuclear war is well founded.
Kashmir is a veritable nuclear tinderbox.
Bill Clinton called Kashmir a nuclear flashpoint. Several writers including Mushtaqur Rehman have elaborated why Kashmr is the most dangerous place in the world (Divided Kashmir: Old Problems, New Opportunities for India, Pakistan and the Kashmiri People, London, Lynne Reinner Publishers, London, 1996, pp.
162-163).
No talks, no mediation. India`s message is loud and clear: `snatch away Kashmir f rom us, if you can`. That is an open invitation to war, perhaps a nuclear war.
