To me Pakistan is a bigger threat than even Iraq and Iran put together at present.
I've been thinking this since shortly after 9/11. Let's look at the record:
*** BCCI - the most prolific money-laundering and criminal enterprise of the 20th century - was created specifically and solely to finance "the Islamic bomb", according to repeated statements by its founders.
*** Pakistan even today harbors al Qaeda, the Taliban, Kashmir Jihadists, Saudi-financed schools of Jihadist hatred (madrassas). Its people currently share a savage bloodlust against Americans, Brits, Hindus, Christians, French engineers, Jews, Western journalists, etc.
*** Pakistan and its military serve as the refining and distribution end for 70 percent of the global heroin business.
Pakistan has become a seething cesspool of global evil. In the context of its general lawlessness and support for Islamic terrorism, Pakistan's possession of nuclear weapons is a threat to world security.
Surely someone in Washington must be aware of this?
