Given that 30,000 nuclear weapons failed to save the Soviet Union from decay, defeat and collapse, could the Bomb really have saved Pakistan in 1971? Can it do so now?

The tragic situation of Sri Lankan Tamils continues to shock the nations on surface. But nothing concrete is being done by U.N.O or by India which has a special responsibility in the matter.
The focus on fossil fuels, CO2 emissions and climate change suddenly allowed nuclear energy to be offered as “clean†and “safe†. But as a technology, nuclear power consumes more energy than it generates if the energy for cooling spent fuel for thousands of years is taken into account. In India, the costs of nuclear energy become even higher because nuclear power plants must grab land and displace people.
Even as the government of Sri Lanka protests vociferously about “The Report of the Secretary-General’s Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka†on grounds of state sovereignty, its protests are not having the desired effect. In fact, quite the opposite. The more the government tries to avert the international gaze, the more it is becoming embroiled in international controversy by inviting negative attention to its conduct from countries around the globe, including its allies. After nearly two years of a needlessly provocative campaign against the UN, and more recently the UN Secretary-General’s Panel of Advisors, the government is now dithering on its response to the UN Panel Report as international pressure around the war crimes controversy mounts.
