The thinking is that the Army will not turn over the Nukes to any group that pulls a coup. You really can't take over the Government in Pakistan unless you have the Army behind you. They won't let anybody have power who is not going to keep their nest feathered. I have read that they only have one senior officer who is in sympathy with Al Qaeda.

It's not an "Iran" situation, where the mad mullahs have the people behind them and can run the Army out of power.
