More Nukes in Middle East

According to a recent New York Times article, Pakistan is creating more nuclear bombs. In the last unit we discussed nuclear weapons and their pro's and con's. We briefly learned about the ongoing conflict between Pakistan and India and how both countries having nuclear weapons may have caused them to slow down a little bit and think more about their actions. Pakistan's motive for increasing its nuclear arsenal is not really known. The United States are worried about this because Pakistan has the largest number of terrorists per square mile than any other country. If these bombs get into the wrong hands, the consequences could be catastrophic. As we learned in that unit, there is no learning curve for nuclear warfare, so we must make sure those weapons stay away from the control of terrorists.
