Musharaf should send his army into the lawless areas and clean house already. If the US and Nato attacked from one side and Pakistan from the other, the al-qaeda and taliban elements would have no chance. We tried this stragedy once, but Pakistan does not have the political or religious will to do the job.
If that wasn’t enough, the supreme court challenged the fact that the chief of the army is allowed to run for elections.

All this and no one has even considered India sitting just to the South East licking their lips in anticipation of just the slightest hint of real trouble in Pakistan?
The radical muslims need to think long and hard about overthrowing the current regime.
India will kick the living shit out of Pakistan. I doubt they would blink twice at using their nukes.

why is this topic titled islamic bomb and not al-qaeda bomb? What does the religion itself have to do with those evil people?[/quote]
You might want to ask them - they seem to be the ones wrapping themselves in the Koran.
When Pakistan developed the bomb,it was tagged by them as the ‘Islamic Bomb’,as they were the first primarily Muslim populated nation to developed and posses the bomb.There is no disrespect in the term.
Before people jump on the nuclear bandwagon it should be considered the implications worldwide of using these weapons. It won’t look pretty for surrounding countries, US, or the rest of the world in the case of a nuclear exchange.
It wasn’t done in the cold war for a reason: MAD. We have to remember that it is a small fraction of these extremists that are the problem. Do we drop a nuke on NYC if we find out that there is a terrorist cell there?
