File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 ...I'm actually not that worried about the Pak government ordering a nuclear strike, for two reasons: First, they may be evil, but they're not crazy. Secondly, you don't really understand just how dangerous to you the damned things are until you've got them.

My worry is that some dumbsh!t Paki lieutenant is going to decide to defend his country's honor all on his own. These people ain't Strategic Air Command circa 1960, with Curtis Lemay at the top, hypertrained professionals down from there, and ironclad regs and procedures inbetween. Their C3 is probably close to nonexistent, and I'd be willing to bet there's nothing even remotely close to the security and Permissive Action Links we take for granted.
