What About the Nukes?

Until ISI and Pak military stays away from the Pak nukes (do they have any? or just got few ready made from China?), there will always be future Abdul Qadeer's who will be blamed for smuggling nukes out to terrorists. What about state? Were they sleeping? If Abdul Qadeer can give nukes to Libya and Iran, what guarantee is there that someone will not give it to militants. Whenever some conclusion is made, it's based on the history and facts- No other country has such a bad reputation as Pakistan for not safeguardng nukes from being sold to other countriers (or militanta.)

WHAT ABOUT THE NUKES ... in the US of A ?

Are the Nukes in the US safe ? after all this is a country .. so over ridden with guns that even skool kids regularly take guns to school and shoot each other with them. This so called civilised nation actually promotes the right to bare arms and has ... thousands upon thousands of rouge groups part taking in military type training, armed with the most sophisticated of military hardware. This is also the nation that bred the likes of Timothy MacVae ..... Heres a novel idea ... instead of u Americans worrying about everyone elses problems .. firstly get your own house in order. Instead of preaching to the likes of Iran about Nuclear weapons ... do something about your own weapons ... and instead of trying to eradicate terror in the world ... try n stop your own young thugs from shooting each other in skool.

Can US and UK and their ally could stop suicide attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel or even in US and UK after 9/11.

If no, then what is relation of suicide attacks in Pakistan with vulnerability to its Nukes ?.

If there exist one, then Yes Pakistan's nukes are as vulnerable as nukes of US / UK / Israel / France and India.

Pakistan is an ally of US. So, even if Mushsharaff sells the Nukes to Al AQuida, dont expect Bush to rush to Pakistan with US militry to stop them. Mind you, Pakistan does not have OIL WELLS like Iraq.

Please do not exagerate on the amount and danger of the nuclear arsenal in Pakistan. It is just a play toy. If it is really overwhelming then the US and Israel will have no second thoughts of destroying them especucially now, at this juncture. Pakistan is a very poor country and can't afford the nuclear bill. The tests they performed in recent years were just for show and the US knew it.

Anything can be vulnerable...

So? Not much WE can do about it. Besides, when you're dead you don't care.

SURE-NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE SAFE BECAUSE MR.M,THE PRIME DICTATOR,SAYS SO--ANYONE
WHO LENDS THAT ASSURANCE MORE THAN A YAWN IS SIMPLY A DANGEROUS AIR-HEAD.

And God said watch Pakistan in February for the shakings shall take place there and it shall even affect Iran.

I thought that there was a program initiated after the collapse of the Soviet Union to have nuclear weapons in the new Central Asian republics dismantled. They have no resources for maintaining these weapons; it's too expensive, and the Russians have even had American aid in reducing the Russian arsenal. Pakistan has nuclear weapons out of fear of India--and vice-versa. But the problem I see if a fundamentalist Islamist government backed by Al-Q and the Taliban ever came to power wouldn't be an attack on India or any neighboring country. There's an estimate of thirty nukes in Pakistan, and I'm less concerned about the group that wants all thirty than the group that want one--just one.

Pakistan is a bit like theUK bank Northern Rock. They have failed but need to be kept artificially alive so that the detritus from their destruction does not create unwanted shock waves. The key thing with Pakistan ( as with Northern Rock) is to plan their deconstruction, so that the people living in what is currently Pakistan do not suffer- and the nukes are safely disposed off.

If Nukes with Central Asian states bordering Afghanistan and Iran, liberated from the USSR are safe after almost two decades, there should be no worries about Pakistani nukes as well. It was much easier for Afghans to get nuclear fission material from them and make dirty bombs, but there is no evidence any such efforts even.

Pakistan has nuclear capability for decades now, but has acted responsibly. World also has responsibility too, not to blow various issues out of proportions.

We need not worry about securing the nukes in Pakistan. Al Qeada and it???s cronies are not looking at stealing the nukes. They have already initiated the process to steal the state itself with all the booty. Of course, moving a few nukes from the present government control to their control will be a part of their short strategy befor the state comes under their total control. Pakistan is ripe for a steal. I would not be surprised if within the next year or so, Mush becomes history, the modernist secular middle class shot and bombed into silence and half the Paki army deserting and putting their lots with the Mullahs. That is when the world will be shitting in their pants???. US will have to pay a very heavy price for creating / using Mujahedins as state policy. And the second mistake - sleeping with the enemy ??? Pakistan a key ally BAH!!
