Pakistan has gotten spotty news coverage in the US for the better part of a year while this situation has been evolving. Which is puzzling to me, being that a radical Pakistan is a much more viable threat to US security than a 'nuclear Iran.'
And, in fact, I would bet good money that a radical Pakistan would result in us finding an ally in Iran. It's too ridiculous not to be true.
