USA worried about Pakistan's Nuclear Arsenal and Facilites

The New York Times: Reports that the USA is worried about Pakistan's ability to secure its nuclear arsenal and its nuclear producing facilities. This follows on a posting from the UK Guardian that showed that the fighting between the Taliban/Terrorists is close to the nuclear producing facilities of Pakistan. This is the worry is the White House, what if the Taliban/Terrorists get their hands on a nuclear warhead or nuclear material, what if they use it as a terror weapon, what if they let off a dirty bomb in Islamabad the Capital of Pakistan. On other hand they might want to to start a war between Pakistan and India, what if India is attacked with a dirty bomb. India would blame Pakistan and we could have a nuclear conflict. Also there is the chance that a dirty bomb could be let off in Afghanistan or the West. This is why the security of Pakistan matters, we could all be under a mushroom cloud, with its origin in Pakistan.
