Quote from man:

hope this is not too stupid. pakistan is islamic, right?
pakistan has a border with iran, right? Pakistan has
had nuclear waepons since 1998. am i missing something
here?

Pakistan's government does not have a feral, anti-US stance. They have cooperated in capturing Al Qaeda elements. No, they're not wholly cooperative as bin Laden may very well be hiding somewhere in their border area, but that's a no-man's land that the Pakistani gov. simply cannot control.

This could all change if Musharraf gets removed and is replaced by a religious zealot(s).

Quote from Artie21:


Radical Islam holds that the 12th Imam (thier version of the messiah) will reveal himself. Yet he can only do so in a time of cataclysm.

Aren't you confusing them with a right wing Rapturist?? :eek:

P.S.: They pretty much hold the same belief, except it is Jesus not an imam who is bringing the shitrain...

Come on Happy, do I have to explain a 3rd person's thoughts? What he meant was this:

If country P. has the nuke and my country is next door to country P. and our relationship can go sour very quickly or not in the best terms all the time, I would better have the nuke too.

Same thing why Japan is worried about North Korea...

i am afraid i did not mean that. i was really meaning that Pakistan
had to be convinced by offers to bring them "back to stone age"
if they were not willing to cooperate. (which is BTW quite a statment
against a country with nukes.) which seems to question
their good relations to americans as such ... so i asked myself,
if the muslims in iraq and the muslims in pakistan ... i mean it
does not even have to be official. some radical guy in iran (there
are some) asks some other radical guy in pakistan military (i would
guess there are some too) for ... i mean, i do not know if you can
carry this shit around easily. but i would think that radicals find
ways.
my point is just, that iran does not necessarily depend on its own
in terms of when they will have the bomb ...

(what the hell of an investigator i am ...)

LOL!

Pecadillo, I suggest you shift your moonbat helmet crystals and make sure they're aligned with Stonehenge, because others' thought transmissions clearly aren't getting through.

Well, you could have. It is a perfectly valid argument for Iran trying to have nukes. It is not necesserily just against the US or Israel, but to feel themselves more secure in an enviroment, where their neighbours have nukes....
