At one level, the United States, keen on retaining Pakistan as an ally in counterterrorism, has not succeeded in obtaining even a partial accounting of the vast subterranean nuclear bazaar that the renegade Pakistani metallurgist AQ Khan had spawned. The Pakistani military and the intelligence services placed a virtually impenetrable wall around the country's nuclear-weapons estate. It is unlikely that the new Army chief of staff, Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani will prove to be any more forthcoming than his predecessor, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, especially in the absence of renewed American pressure. Yet while Khan's clandestine nuclear commerce certainly facilitated the nuclear-weapons programs of dubious regimes in Iran and North Korea, given the intense attention it faces since its full discovery in 2006, it is most unlikely that it will be resurrected in any form. The nuclear danger in the subcontinent lies elsewhere.
U.S. policymakers, whose gaze has now been diverted from the subcontinents' woes, can ill afford to overlook the continued dangers that still lurk from within an unstable and brittle Pakistan. They should recognize that the jihadi threat emanating from within Pakistan's borders is seamless: the Islamist groups attacking American forces along the Afghan border have organic links with the jihadis seeking to provoke yet another Indo-Pakistani conflict with potentially catastrophic consequences. More to the point, their millenarian ideological goals pose a fundamental threat to all democratic societies whether in South Asia or elsewhere. The United States can only afford to ignore the dangers they pose at its own peril.
