Nuclear Apocalypse Friday!

In my post about the situation in Pakistan earlier in the week, I neglected to mention the biggest issue of all: What is happening with Pakistan's nukes?

Luckily, In From the Cold has it covered. From the post:

"This much we know: trying to monitor, control (or even, eliminate) Pakistan's nuclear arsenal amid escalating violence would be difficult, if not impossible, for a variety of reasons. Three decades after Islamabad launched its efforts to get the bomb--and almost a decade after the country's first announced nuclear tests--there is much we don't know about Pakistan's program, including the status of its weapons, their locations, and security measures in place at various nuclear-related facilities."

Scary stuff. I am hoping that our military leadership is more competent than our civilian leadership, because this is a pretty awful situation. How should this effect our stance towards the current political standoff?

OK, sorry about all the doom and gloom. Have a good weekend everybody. If you are in Athens tonight, be sure to stop by our little shindig. I promise there will be no discussion of nuclear weapons, internet pornography, or condo booms.
