Let's pretend for a moment that there truly is a "War on Terror"
And we are worried about terrorist getting the bomb. Should we invade Pakistan and remove their nuclear capacity? If we are truly serious about this "War on Terror" thingy shouldn't we go right to the known source? Does anyone here believe this is in their future plans? We know beyond any doubt that Pakistan has nukes, we do not know that about any other extremist nation..Iran is down the road a few years and Syria is only looking into it. Iraq, well we know what they have and don't have. Only Pakistan is a true threat with WMDs. So should the USA using Bush* Doctrine of Pre-emptive strikes attack Pakistan?

1. Pakistan is an ally and it's harder to take nukes away once
they have them. The logic of us using the military to stop nuclear proliferation means that countries that get the nukes are safe, but countries who are close to getting nukes should get ready to be invaded.
