Um, if that were the case, we would just do to Pakistan what we're doing with Iran and Korea. Alienating them, doing bad PR against them, making them look like boogy men, and aligning them in the axis of evil.
Please face the facts. There is an extremist movement in the region - a bunch of crazies think they can put up a khalifah they've been dreaming of...THEY are the ones who stand the most by gaining the nukes.
Exactly what you are suspicious of America - that we just want to take over some nuke nation - you're so blind that you can't even see that possibly a group of muslim crazies may want the same thing!
One question, did you even bother to read that article? lol
