"Were one to map terrorism and weapons of mass destruction today, all roads would intersect in Pakistan," the report ‘World at Risk’ said while devoting a whole chapter on the Islamic country.
"Although Pakistan is an ally of US there is a grave danger it could also be an unwitting source of a terrorist attack on the United States, possibly with weapons of mass destruction," the report said.
The Commission was chaired by former US Senator Bob Graham and included Wendy Sherman, a former senior Clinton Administation official, who is now the chair of the foreign policy transition team of the incoming Obama Administration.
Speaking on CNN television, Graham called Pakistan the ‘intersection of the perfect storm.’
In remarks suggesting that Pakistan could be emerging as a most lethal tinderbox, the report noted that ‘Pakistan has nuclear weapons and a history of unstable governments and parts of its territory are currently a safe haven for al-Qaeda and other terrorists.’
The authors of the report said they had ‘singled out Pakistan for special attention in the report, as we believe it poses a serious challenge to America's short-term and medium-term national security interests. Indeed many government officials and outside experts believe that the next terrorist attack against the US is likely to originate from within the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan.’

The title should be "WMD attack on US may originate in Americas Most Favoured Non-NATO ALLY Pakistan". I guess it is time for Indian Media to always refer to Pakistan as "Americas Most Favoured Non-NATA Ally". This will induce slow change in people's perception about American Govt (for American and Indian citizens) and in return put pressure on the American Govt to atleast reduce their Billions of tax payers money as monetary gifts every year!
However, until India is devastatingly punished by Pakistan, India will never learn the lesson! Because India is under the grip of pseudo-secularistS, who only cry when a terrorist is killed, and keeps mum when thousand of innocent people are killed by terrorists. This is possible only and only in India, no other country in the world will tolerate like this.
India should apply NOW to the US and EU to be an external partner of NATO. I see no other way that India can protect herself from the Islamic nukes waiting in Pakistan. ACT NOW for God´s sake to save India! Joi Hind.
YES.INDIA NEEDS TO BE A ALLIES OF NATO.IF IT WOULDNOT GET TO NATO IT WOULDNOT SAVE ITSELF FROM THE FUTURE ATTACKS OF PAKISTAN AND CHINA.BOTH COUNTRY WANTS TO SAVOUR INDIA AND THERE IS ONLY A WAY OUT FOR INDIA TO BE A ALLY OF NATO COUNTRY.WHEN INDIA HAS NO FRIENDSHIP TREATY WITH FORMER USSR AND RUSSIA.INDIA NEEDS A PARTNER AND CONFIDENT ALLY IN USA AND NATO WHO CAN HELP IT AT THE TIME OF ANY SUCH EVENTUALLITY OF NUCLEAR ATTACK.
The only one solution is availave to format joint anti terror task force. This task force should be impored to attach the country of proven terrorist infested country who are targetting world country one or other at different time. The pak is threat to world and humankind, properity and happyness you give them any concession u cant mend their way u cant trust this any pak they are need to be scanned throughly of any weapon and twisted idealogy one side punishing and other side rehabalision with firm and timly action. if u miss thistime around it is going to be worstest time for civil human race........
