If our safety is in the hands of Pakistan, we're in one Helluva shape.
Only because the west has castrated fools for leaders.
Even since BCCI in the 80's and 90's, it has been known that Pakistan is a rogue state. Heroin dealing (the Afghans grow, the Paks refine and sell), nuke proliferation, the Taliban, money laundering, sanctuary to al Qaeda, madrassas (aka "hate schools") etc.
You name it, and Pakistan has been involved in it, with nefarious global and regional motives.
Of course the Saudis contribute generously to the problem.
