4. I'm guessing you pulled that question out of one of your orifices.

The question is "Which one?"

8. "...nuclear-armed nation..."

The United States is a "nuclear-armed nation."

Someone dies...what the HELL does that have to do with anything? WHY do Pakistan's nukes play into the story?

Sorry you couldn't do the math. I just did it for you.

THAT'S the point of my post. Peace, over, and OUT.

9. Oh, I don't know

maybe because there is no stability in the Musharaff administration and a coup or assassination could put the nuclear button in some unfriendlies control?

Hmmmm, I'll have to think about it.

11. India/Pakistan recent nuclear hostilities, maybe?

It's a huge concern not only for neighboring states, but for all across the globe.

10. "throws election into doubt in nuclear-armed nation."

You misquoted the caption.

I really don't see what's wrong with what they're saying. It's quite true, and a huge geopolitical concern.

I certainly don't see it as "fanning the flames." (Won't even ask exactly what flames they're supposedly fanning.)
