Never mind the territorial issues between Pakistan and India.
Never mind that the political tensions in this part of the world are themselves a powder keg and you never know who will end up with a nuclear arsenal and other weapons of mass destruction.
There is the issue of Pakistan having nuclear weapons in a country with unstable geology.
Earthquakes are very common in Pakistan, Turkey, and Iran, among many other countries.
At this moment Jordan, Egypt and others ecological and political unstable countries have been promised nuclear reactors by the USA and Canada - even as Fukushima becomes a permanent nuclear volcano, poisoning the Pacific Ocean.

Deadly Pakistan quake creates new island
A new island appeared off Pakistan after a deadly 7.7-magnitude quake struck Tuesday afternoon in Baluchistan province's Awaran district -- a dirt-poor expanse of land that is roughly the size of Wales"
The island, which is up to 100 feet high and 200 feet wide, surfaced after the earthquake hit parts of Baluchistan," senior local administration official Tufail Baluch told AFP.
He said a similar island had appeared at the same place in the sea about 60 years ago but disappeared after some time, meaning the current island is unlikely to last long.
The new island was created by the pressure of the earthquake, seismologist John Armbruster told NBC News.
He said such mud formations are a known occurrence following strong earthquakes of magnitude of seven or eight.
