People talk of Iran, Syria, the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents all of the time but aren't they missing something?

Pakistan is a ready made nuclear power ripe for an Islamic fundamentalist coup. Several regions of the country are under Sharia law and there have been 5 or more attempts on the life of the military dictator General Pervez Musharraf. If the shit hits the fan in Pakistan - then it's time to start shitting a brick.

I suppose it's another example of poor foresight/prioritisation: like North Korea being happily allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

Musharraf is friendly towards the west. That in itself has fanned the hatred against him and his government within Pakistan. Huge areas of the country are under 'tribal' rule which the Taliban use as a rallying area for attacks in Afghanistan against the coalition troops. Ironic considering Pakistan is supposed to be an Allie in the War of Terror. The Coalition isn't allowed to make attacks within Pakistan without their permission and the Taliban know this.
