Halliburton seems to have worked out the locating bug. Now let's see if they can fix the problem with repeating fire ...

#4  3dc, et al: the problem is, the pressure is caused by pressure from the Indian subcontinent slamming into the Eurasian plate. It's pushing up territory, not pushing it down. All you would do would be make the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan higher, and rattle the Himalayas from the Hindu Kush to Burma. It might rattle China's cage a bit, but it wouldn't "sink" Pakistan. Take a long look at the area using Google Earth from about 50 miles - its unmistakable what's going on.

#1  with deep wells dug under pakistan from the forts on the afghan side we should emplace a mile or two down at various depths and programed to go off in sequence 100s of large nukes. This to make a pressure release so all that pent up force creating the Himilayas and Hindu Kush and release itself in Pakistan - maybe even to the point of giving Afghanistan a sea coast.
Nothing need to erupt above ground if the placement is sure.

ya know just thinking out of the box solutions...
