Do you think they will hesitate and contemplate whether or not it is immoral, unethical or irreligious? If they get it will they use it? Does that make the Paskistani arsenal a clear and present danger, or not?

They will use them faster than they can wrap a towel around their head. To them to use them is moral.

Pakistani Army is the 7th largest military in the world. It can be compared to any army in the world. It is a professional organization. The politics and the army is entirely different. Whatever is happening in Pakistan right now is happening on the political side not on the military side. And Pakistani Army has the complete capability to protect its Nuclear Arsenal. Remember Pakistan has a Nuclear Program since late 60's. So since then the country has been maintaining its Nuclear program and it would also do in the future. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN. LONG LIVE BHUTTO.

Interesting prefix use, clearly you enjoy challenging linguistic conventions.
I have no doubt (like with any guerrilla group, specifically one which employs terror as a strategic resource) that there are elements in Al Qaeda (or who self-identify as members) who are more extreme than others. This is why negotiating with these types of groups with more fluid leadership is so precarious. Invariably, regardless of the terms of agreement, there would be a splintering.
So, yes the arsenal is a danger, as is the possibility of importing scientists and engineers to build a weapon on a rural compound within the US.
As long as we continue to import our professional class this will also be a danger.
response to Concerned: Ethnic cleansing huh? Adorable. Which ethnicity's are the killers we should do away with? I wish the world I lived in was as black and white as yours appears to be, but alas I studied stuff.

I don't question it. Bin Laden wouldn't think twice if he got his hands on a nuclear weapon to use it on Israel, the West, or especially America, because the extremists believe they're doing God's work. So, let's pray to God that this never happens. Yes, I think it's a threat, although It may not be urgent or immediate. I just think it's critical that the Pakistani government stays strong and secure, so they can have a safe guard over their weapons.

I guess you question it. You sound like one of those serial conspirators.
Although Pakistan is a volatile country with a myriad of crazy Muslims who feel obligated to riot at the drop of a hat, Musharraf will only tolerate so much before he puts the clamps on. And, he will, if it starts getting out of hand.

Of course they would use it. That is why Pakistan is a big player in the terror situation. Musharraf has questionable loyalty to the U.S. There was a special on CNN that said he has made a deal with the terrorists who reside on their border. It was a truce. We pay them billions of dollars to stop the terrorists in their country and they are probably paying it to them to leave Pakistan alone. Meanwhile, they are causing all kinds of trouble in Pakistan. Not a good situation.

I am hoping they will use it if they get one.
Then this war on terror can end once and for all.
Their use of nukes would justify a full scale ethnic clensing in Pakistan... by nuclear retaliation from Isreal, the US, even India... or a combination of the three... depending on the target(s) they initially choose.
Yes, alot of people will die. But maybe it will cause much of the world to wake up and realize that WISHING these vile murderers away is not the answer...and that they are very much for real, not some made up "Boogey Man" by Karl Rove and Dick Cheney..
Unfortunately.. bad things always have to happen for a greater good to be accomplished.

they would use it if they could
but, more than likely they wouldn't figure out how to arm it - unless maybe the al-qaeda group was operating inside the pakistan military.

it makes pakistan the most dangerous nation in the world, even moreso than saudi arabia.
sort of makes you wonder why we keep WASTING $12 billion a month in iraq, not to mention our soldiers.

If Al Qaida get's a nuke, they will use it regardless of where it came from.

I haven't seen anyone question this...except you.
At this point, US Marines are helping to guard Pakistan's nukes.
