there is a far more dangerous scenario that could occurr much sooner...that is if he loses control of the government and Islamic fundamentalists gain control of Pakistan's nukes. Then we have another war on our hands. How is it you see THIS as a dangerous scenario, but you don't see Saddam's development of nukes as "dangerous"? If control of Pakistan's nukes is lost, it is going to be up to the United States to deal with the problem. Same with Iraq. And if WE'RE going to have to control them later, we may as well take control of them now, before our population becomes a target. Your position is inconsistent.

I would not be surprised if that were to happen in the next ten years. Right now, he is busy consolidating his power in Pakistan and so he doesn't need to take us on. Plus, the Taliban and religious fundamentalists worry him and now a lot of the Taliban are in Pakistan. Ted, there is a far more dangerous scenario that could occurr much sooner...that is if he loses control of the government and Islamic fundamentalists gain control of Pakistan's nukes. Then we have another war on our hands. Al, you're very right. And the fundamentalists have targeted him. ted
