Why is the news media saying that Americans should worry about Pakistan now?

Question

Im sorry Im kind of lost on this. First Afghanistan, then Iraq, now Pakistan.......Why Pakistan?

Answer 1

PAKISTAN HAS NUKES AND IF THEY FALL IN THE WRONG HANDS IT COULD BE TROUBLE FOR US . AT PRESENT I TRUST THERE GOVERNMENT TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT , IF A CHANGE IN THE LEADERS HAPPEN THEY COULD WIND UP BEING THE WORLDS ENEMY .

Answer 2

It was about leakage and political unrest.

Pakistan would have a democratic government next year but existing government may not give in. Then, America has to insist on democracy, i.e. backing up the new government. However, the existing government helped U.S. so much in anti-terrorism. Then, the existing government would become another Bin Ladden.

Since Pakistan is helping U.S. now, they can get permit from Pentagon to buy a lot of outdated weapons. However, Pakistan normally resell those weapons to China, who modified them into their latest weapons.

Answer 3

Al Qaeda has operated along the Afghan/Pakistani border for about 10 years now. Lets say terrorists take over one of Pakistan's nuclear missle sites bad things could happen. General Musharrif, the leader of Pakistan dissolved their government creating this latest crisis where worse case scenarios are unfortuately having to be considered.

Answer 4

Pakistan was always where the 'war on terror' should have been fought. It's where Bin Laden attacked us from (the Pakistan/Afghan border region) and it is still a hotbed of terrorist ideology and training.

That we ever went to Iraq was idiotic.

If, after 9/11, we had gone after Bin Laden and Al Qaeda in the above region we would have had enough political capital, and sympathy from most of the rest of the world, to clean that cesspool out.

Tragically we went to Iraq instead.

Answer 5

First USA should give Pakistan the proper and latest equipment to seal its border with Afghanistan then criticize Pakistan, I wonder how Americans can only blame Pakistan for Taliban attacks? Since all 35 NATO nations are in Afghanistan with their latest equipments USA itself is there with the number one technology in the whole world, Afghanistan should care about its borders but yet the whole world and specially USA blame only only only PAKISTAN.
We all know that USA can't secure its easy border with Mexico with its world number one technology but they expect Pakistan to secure its Mountainous border with Afghanistan, i just wonder on the hypocrisy of Americans.
Securing Pakistan Afghanistan border is a joint joint joint responsibility of all NATO and specially AMERICA & Afghanistan & then PAKISTAN.
And Pakistan has lost more troops & civilians than USA or any other country for this so called war on terror.
USA and WEST first look at their deeds then point out their fingers on Pakistan, USA must must must give Pakistan the latest spying equipments otherwise they should not expect something from Pakistan which is not possible even from them.

AND LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ONNNNNNNNN, All USA is doing providing ARMS & having nuclear deals to Pakistan’s number ONE enemy India and despite of that asking Pakistan to do all for them. WOW what a friend is USA if of Pakistan.
& REMEMMBER THAT “PAKISTAN IS NOT AN COUNTRY SO USA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY MAKE THEIR MOVE AND GET AWAY WITH IT”.

USA only like those democracy which supports its goals and objectives, they don't like truly elected democracy. Most current examples are Hamas (elected by people but rejected by USA), Iran's president (elected by people but rejected by USA).

USA supported the dictatorship of Musharraf and they still not saying to him to leave the president house, now tell me what’s that?

All USA has is just "double standards".

Answer 6

Political Issues. Which way the country will choose against or for States. The country is now not in favouring USA. Most of the people are Muslims and supporting Afghan's revolution and Iraq problem

Answer 7

Oh yes, the nukes falling into wrong hands, ooh I am soo scared.

Oh man, God knows what can happen if hundreds of out of form, pistol armed terrorist go against a professional, armed to teeth army of thousands.

I am so scared, I won't be going to sleep. Mommy, mommy, Pakistan has nukes, can I sleep with my lights on?
