.Muslim fanatics believe and propagate that Islam is tormented by other religions and it's the duty every Jighadi(Sacred Fighter) to wage war on non muslims whatever the country be in question.That's why you hear pakistan trained terrorists operate in Russia,Indonesia apart form Gulf and India.Recently there is a report that they're operating in China also.It's a fact that Pakistan has become the virtual stronghold of terrorists of the World.[/quote]
K,VEE,
India and Pakistan are threats to each other but how is that relevant here and what role does terrorism play in your inane disputes.[/quote]
I wrote my views while fully aware of the question "Whether Pakistan Is a danger to the World Peace".For a moment Keep aside what's happening in India.
1)I've said about the complaints of Russia,Indonesia and China.
2)It has been reported that Iran has made much progress in nuclear technology with the help of Pakistan.
3)It's also a well known fact that North Korea exchanged Missile technology with Pakistan's nuke technology.
These are appart from the well established support Al-Queida has in Pakistan.Parvez may proclaim Anti-Terrorisim rehtoric. But,his military and ISI work in the opposite direction
Looks like the second attempt on Musharref has propelled him to proclaim a more forceful clampdown on pro-al-Quaida insurgents. (So says news reports.)
Continually amazed he's still alive.
?
It may be people in the Military for all we know.
In my view Pakistan is more of a danger than Iraq or N.Korea ever will be.

Ignoring.
The Musharraf Mysteries
By The New York Times
Saturday 27 December 2003
A succession of startling developments in Pakistan has left analysts from Islamabad to Washington guessing. At the center of the puzzle is Pakistan's military ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who is either losing or tightening his grip on power and either democratizing his rule or moving closer to hard-line Islamic radicals.
Twice in the last two weeks would-be assassins have nearly blown up General Musharraf's car as his motorcade drove through the tightly guarded military center of Rawalpindi. Between the two attempts, General Musharraf announced a surprising deal with an alliance of anti-American Islamic parties in which he pledged to give up his powerful post as army chief by next December and submit to a parliamentary vote on completing the rest of his presidential term, originally set to run through 2007.
Even at its most transparent, Pakistani politics are difficult to decode. The shifting domestic and international alliances made by its leaders do not always turn out to be what they seem. Right now, things are even murkier than usual. Large numbers of radical Islamists, military officers and secular democrats are furious with General Musharraf. Other members of these same groups are making tactical alliances with him. He has been America's ally in Afghanistan, for which Washington has rewarded him and Pakistan well. Yet he has been unable to secure Pakistan's borders against a resurgent Taliban and has been equivocal toward Kashmiri terrorists.
The military is Pakistan's dominant institution, and General Musharraf is its most visible representative. His public break with the Taliban and recent conciliatory statements over Kashmir might have alienated important military supporters. Some Pakistanis say that the Rawalpindi attacks could never have breached tight security without army help. No clear explanation has emerged yetfor his deal with Islamic parties and promise to resign as army chief.
President Bush recently declared that Washington would end its bad habit of relying on authoritarian leaders like General Musharraf to ensure American security. "Stability," he rightly said, "cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty." That insight should guide Washington's long-term strategy toward Pakistan. Its immediate challenge is to unravel the mysteries around General Musharraf and discover what is really going on there.
Hmm.Let us hope sanity prevails in pakistan atleast now.
