Islamic Radicals with Nuclear Weapons. A terrifying scenario. With the latest confrontation in Pakistan, we will soon be there too, en masse. Afghanistan, Iraq, now Pakistan. We cannot allow those murderers to get their finger on the button. But they plan to take Pakistan, so what do we do? The Religion Of Peace has our ideals as it's main target. The radicals would not hesitate to annihilate us if given the means and opportunity. So many in this country want to protest and scream about the "global war on terror". Lets just back out and wish they will not destroy us maybe. Get a grip.... Check out Joel Hilliker's article today at The Trumpet.com:

Radical Muslims are closer to the nuclear bomb than we’d like: only 60 miles. Pakistan is turning into the Iranian Revolution—plus nuclear weapons. Like Iran in 1979, Islamist radicals are taking a weakly governed country by the throat and preparing to shape it according to their twisted spiritual vision. The immediate danger is heightened exponentially by Pakistan being one of the world’s eight nuclear powers, possessing between 60 and 100 nukes, scattered throughout the country. Amid escalating chaos, some of those bombs are sure to slip into extremist Muslim hands. Though the United States and others talk about preventing this scenario, they simply aren’t willing to take measures forceful enough. Signs are, in fact, that the Obama administration is beginning to realize this is a losing cause. Brace yourself for the consequences. This situation threatens to change the world.

On April 28, 2006, The Yankee Sailor laid out some more juicy facts concerning "Nuclear Deterrence in the Age of Terrorism" A thorough analysis of the dilemma we now face. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article on their website which also, addresses the situation. An excerpt from the article below lays out two possible scenarios which could lead to the radicals getting control of the bomb:

The Taliban's Atomic Threat The extremists who harbored al Qaeda could get control of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. By JOHN R. BOLTON At his press conference Wednesday evening, President Barack Obama endorsed Pakistan's official position that it has secure control over its nuclear-weapons arsenal. Mr. Obama said he was "gravely concerned" about the situation there, but "confident that the nuclear arsenal will remain out of militant hands." His words are not reassuring in light of the Taliban's military and political gains throughout Pakistan. Our security, and that of friends and allies world-wide, depends critically on preventing more adversaries, especially ones with otherworldly ideologies, from acquiring nuclear weapons. Unless there is swift, decisive action against the Islamic radicals there, Pakistan faces two very worrisome scenarios. One scenario is that instability continues to grow, and that the radicals disrupt both Pakistan's weak democratic institutions and the military. Often known as Pakistan's "steel skeleton" for holding the country together after successive corrupt or incompetent civilian governments, the military itself is now gravely threatened from within by rising pro-Taliban sentiment. In these circumstances -- especially if, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified recently, the nuclear arsenal has been dispersed around the country -- there is a tangible risk that several weapons could slip out of military control. Such weapons could then find their way to al Qaeda or other terrorists, with obvious global implications. The second scenario is even more dangerous. Instability could cause the constitutional government to collapse entirely and the military to fragment. This could allow a well-organized, tightly disciplined group to seize control of the entire Pakistani government. While Taliban-like radicals might not have even a remote chance to prevail in free and fair elections, they could well take advantage of chaos to seize power. If that happened, a radical Islamicist regime in Pakistan would control a substantial nuclear weapons capacity.
