It is evident that the situation in Pakistan has become worrisome to the entire international community. It is important that we take steps to address these concerns.

Pakistan faces both internal threats and external threats. Lethal Armaments can only protect from external but NOT from internal threats. For example we have nukes but cannot use then against Talibans. We have limited resources. We are spending far too much on our Armaments for external threats than on internal threats to very existence. Budgets, training, resources, and equipment for our Police and law enforcement agencies have been starved to fund our irrational race for Armaments. We need reevaluation of our National Budget and priorities.

@Author
A typical article with just criticism…….we don't have this, we don't have that, we did it wrong, government is doing this, no policies & so on. Do u have any solution to the above mentioned problem…which can cover all dimensions of the issue….including but not limited to financial, National interests, security, international policies, external pressure and criticism/propaganda…..and the way u linked all problems with bomb making does not make sense……can u explain so called "spilling of atomic tech" from the borders of developed countries….i m not defending any-one….we do made mistakes like others….but why every-one pointing at us……and please criticism with a possible solution will save valuable time of READER

besides all the stated issues, author should not forget that pak nukes are more safer than those of our neighbour india, which have gone malfunctioned and mismanaged multiple times. Still there is no finger pointing at 'em and US is trying since decades not from recent times to stop pak acquire nuke tech…Pak has safely tested them and secured them and there should not be any doubt about it to anyone.

Why always compare with India ? India has a constant threat from its nuclear rival China unlike Pakistan has only one so called enemy, India, that too only assumed.IF PAKISTAN IS FAILING TO PROTECT THEIR OWN NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN A SATISFACTOY WAY, WHY TO PRODUCE THEM ? Inspite of all nuclear power, Pakistan is not accepted as powerful country by any other country.

History shows that every revolution in modern world need complete chaos in society. Starting from France, Iran, Bosnia, USSR and united india, all were complete collapse states due to the ruiling elite. Wave of revolution in Arab countries is too because of their incompetent dictator ruilers. But the citizens not obtaining their objectives for better changes is due to one essential factor. Only one factor. That is complete chaos. People still pay their taxes and utility bills to feed ruiling corrupt mafia. Ruiling elites sustain and grow on peoples wealth, blood and bones. Until unless we keep on feeding, they keep on growing as monsters and engulfing our share of life. Stop now. Dont pay bills. Dont pay your taxes. Expell them by starving them. Make a complete chaos to get complete revolution
