Can we please hit 'em when it is daylight there? I would like to see the pictures live also if possible. That is not too much to ask.

Pakistan supports the Taliban, who see themselves not as part of a distinctive Afgan state so much as a cornerstone of pan-Islamic alliance. In fact the main opposition group in Afghanistan are fighting to preserve a distinctively Afgan state. As for Pakistan, it's in an arms race with India, where nationalists recently took control through elections. India detonated nuclear devices and Pakistan followed along, but the devices were small and they have no effective delivery vehicles -- ie these were tests to save face and preserve national pride but they weren't part of on ongoing and successful program in the development of a credible nuclear threat. Maybe before you float breezy suggestions about nuclear war you might want to check up on some basic facts.
