“At least two-thirds of the Pakistani population considers the United States an enemy, making it one of the largest hotbeds of anti-American sentiment in the world. The country’s extreme poverty, Muslim extremism, religious hatreds and periodic political upheavals are, in many ways, reminiscent of the conditions prior to the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, once America’s staunchest ally in the region. Most worrisome of all, Pakistan is a nuclear power with 12 times as many nuclear warheads as North Korea. Like North Korea, it has never signed the global Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. But unlike North Korea, it has the ability to drop its bombs on its enemies.”
