The nuclear issue is a huge issue, probably the biggest issue facing Pakistan's future at this moment. We should ignore it completely.

you see ! what are you highlighting in your response...? the nukes and america - or in this case even more specifically the us election - this underlines my point - nukes are a big part of pakistan's FOREIGN policy, it's not a factor in the bullshit that's going on domestically in the country

Yes it is.
Nutjob muslims have the nukes now.
But REALLY whacky nutjobs want to take them for themselves.

It's all a matter of degree.

Secretly, EVERY nation wants the ultimate weapon.

not every NATION... every GOV'T, i would think that the majority of citizens in most countries aren't big fans of nuclear weapons and only buy into the whole concept because of the eternal - they have one we need one to counter them - dilema

I disagree, some nations in the world are completely against nuclear technology in all its forms, and despite being offered the opportunity to have it, continue to refuse to do so. New Zealand for one have declared its territory a 'nuclear-free zone' despite having the opportunity to use such technology.
