Hate as they may, Pakistan will be crushed by India and the US if they cross the line. They like flexing their muscles since the embarrassing bin Laden fiasco. The Navy Seal's entered their country, caught and killed bin Laden in his Abbottabad compound. The compound being situated next to a military academy that happen to house a lot of retired officers must have been painful. To think the Pakistani Government and it's military did not know bin Laden has purchase the mansion and lived there for 10 years is essentially calling them idiots. The building was 38,000 square-foot, with perimeter of 12 -18 foot concrete walls topped with barbed wires!! Plus it was surrounded by black SUV's all the time!! In 10-yrs the military never investigated who lived next door!!

Yes the secular Pakistanis but what of the Muslims infiltrating? What if they work their way into the military and get close to the nukes.......?
Four social media activists with outspoken, secular and anti-military views have gone missing in Pakistan in recent days, sparking fears of a crackdown on leftwing dissenters.
Pakistan’s intelligence agencies have a history of illegal detentions and of not notifying relatives about where they are or why they are being held. However, such “forced disappearances” are usually directed against those suspected of involvement in terrorism or violent separatism.
One of the four men, Asim Saeed, was abducted from his home in Lahore on Friday after he had returned from working in Singapore. Ahmad Waqas Goraya, another online activist who is usually based in Holland, was detained on the same day, his friends say.
According to a statement given by Saeed’s father to the police, four men arrived at the house in a pickup truck and “forcefully took him away”.
“I made all efforts to locate my son but I have been unable to trace him,” his statement said.
At the time of Saeed’s abduction, the IT worker was carrying his laptop and two mobile phones.
Both Saeed and Goraya help run the Mochi Facebook page critical of Pakistan’s powerful military. The page has recently criticised the army’s heavy-handed crackdown on political groups in Karachi, alleged corruption amongst senior officers and accused the military of interfering in national politics.
“We respect Armed Forces of Pakistan as much as they respect the constitution of Pakistan,” runs the text on the Facebook page’s banner.
Salman Haider, a lecturer at Fatima Jinnah Women University, failed to come home on Friday. His wife received a mysterious message from his phone saying he was abandoning his car on the Islamabad-Rawalpindi motorway. The car was later recovered by police.

Are you still buying the script of that movie?
Pakistan has had nuclear capabilities since the 60's or 70's. Why are you concerned about it now?
They can deliver them anywhere, now and with stealth.
Instead of just threatening India, they can now threaten all of us, anywhere.
Allah Akbar.
So what? Lots of countries have that capability. Why should't they?
Gotta say you sure do not seem conservative like your avatar claims. You seem much more of a liberal socialist. You should really change that.
I am an old fashioned Red Tory from Old Canada, not a crypto-fascist from Bumfukc, Alta. The latter are in the minority, because they are totally unelectable.
There are lots of countries like France, Britain, probably India, China (based on the small size of their arsenal) who will never launch Nukes as a first strike.
Pakistan? ... The Islamic Republic of Pakistan that is crawling with Taliban? ... with third world security?
Socialist? ... I believe in the sort of mixed system that we have, which is a Capitalist/Socialist hybrid. The whole Western world is, even the US. There are some things that we do better collectively. There are some things that we do better, individually. I have a VERY strong belief in personal freedom, save that you shouldn't be allowed to be armed and therefore able to take away my freedom with your whim.
Too subtle to you? Maybe, when you get a little older, your thoughts may become a little more nuanced. as for the "socialist libtard" crap, save it for the brainless Yanks.
I believe we should have a social safety net for those in desperate need or those who cannot fend for themselves due to disablilty. I believe in free education (incl post-secondary) and universal healthcare. Other than that you should be on your own. I am a Libertarian. Personal responsibility means a lot to me. If you are unable to provide a decent life for yourself it is not my problem. Figure it out on your own or suffer the consequences. I should not have to support you if you can't make it or are too lazy to do it. Government is there to regulate commerce and provide essential services and infrastructure, nothing more.
I am a Capitalist, an investor, an entrepreneur. I am also not a mean-spirited bastard and I was taught an old fashioned Christian ethic that I am responsible for fellow beings who are less fortunate than myself.These are really old fashioned values (pioneer values) and if they somehow overlap with a modern definition of "liberal" , so be it. I do not apologise for it. There are more people in this country like me than like you. You are at the fringe. I am at the center.
I'm definitely far to the right. That doesn't mean I do not help my neighbors or people in need. My issue is when other people start to determine who I should help and how much I should help them. Being forced into assisting those who just do not have the work ethic to look after themselves or take responsibility for their life goes against my nature. I should be the one who decides who benefits from the fruits of my labor not some group of socialists 2000 miles away. Of course I am quite able to go 100s of miles from civilization with a few basic tools and a gun and survive easily and probably thrive.
