I either risk it, or I do not start.

You can't confront a nuclear power without risking that scenario. However, in the long run it may prove better to do it while they still cannot shoot ICBMs as far as to Europe, what of course doe snot mean they could not take revenge by nuclear smuggle and proliferation - the nuclear terror option having been my much greater concern since long time anyway, compared to Iran or Pakistan getting ICBMs.

every Pakistani should be clear about that for each of his 50 bombs that he drops, a hundred American, British and French ICBMC come flying back. On the other hand, western civilisartion is far mor vulnerable to just even one nuclear bomb hitting a Western metropole.

Let'S build a time machine, go back to when Pakistan still had no nukesl and THEN crush it and delete it from the map, forever. Would have saved the region and world stability many worries. It has been a centre of "evil", so to speak, since its very beginning. Hell, it was even born in and through violence. 750 thousand people got killed during the founding time when Muslims and Hindus had to move due to the splitting of British India. It was about forming an islamic country, of course.
