#1 Fred --- Re: your comments:

1. You are paranoid.
2. Your paranoia is entirely justified.

I think that our little love fest with Pakistan is slowly and steadily coming to a close.

#2 There's a discussion on LGF about the US aligning with India. If the Pakis decide to go sour on us, the Indis will be more than happy to fill in the vaccuum.

#5 And should the pro-military government ever lose power, with an Iran-type circus taking control, that would present some problems wouldn't it. I remember Perv doing a "ministerial shuffle" of his staff just before the intervention in Afghanistan. This seems to show even the military is susceptible. And who will come after Musharraf?

#6 Hey, when one decides to play with the big boys, then there responsibilities that come with the position. So they have nukes. Does that mean that the U.S. has to keep coddling them on that basis? No.

If Islamofascist mullahs grab control of Pakistan and start throwing their weight around simply because they have a few nukes, then they are going to be burned to a crisp by India.

#7 Bomb-a-rama is right. If we let possession of nukes act as a "Get out of Jail" free card, there's gonna be a lot of crime in the world in a few years.

#8 Why on earth would any American want to go to that rat-hole of a country? Pakistan is the open sewer of Asia.
