Pakistan will be taken over by Islamic Fundamentalism

This is the scariest thing in the news today. A radical muslim nuclear power could actually bring about the end of the world as we know it. First time in history someone actually crazy enough to launch nukes at the US has been anywhere near close to getting them.

I agree with Kratos that troops in Afghanistan will not do much good. It seems like it is too late to stop this from happening.

Well, the good news is they don't have a very good delivery system. All the missile systems are pretty much limited to around 300km, and were designed with a fight with india in mind.

Their only hope for delivering a nulear device to the US would be the Agosta 90B submarines aquired from France. With our attack sub arsenal? I'm not really qualified to answer the question of if one could easily slip by our defenses. But I would imagine they could hide a missle or two on a merchant ship and get within range of our coastline or some other method of delivery. They're creative bastards, who saw ever passanger jets being used as weapons?

This is pretty serious stuff. These crack pots are a serious threat to ALL LIFE on this planet and the thought of them launching nukes can only lead to nuclear retaliation, aka Nuclear Armageddon.

And I don't see how they can be stopped or reasoned with either. Very scary stuff. Sooner or later, one of these maniacs are going to launch or threaten to launch a nuke.
