Responding as a delegate from Italy:

I agree that the United States should take control of the situation in Pakistan. If nuclear weapons get into the wrong hands, like the Taliban or Al Qaida it would result in un-necessary violence. Italy believes that it is necessary for someone to step in and help Pakistan gain the control of their government back, with the extra support it would decrease the chances of the terrorist groups taking over.

According to www.npr.org's article “Unsecured Nuclear Material Poses Risks” One of the United States biggest problem is Pakistan “ An unstable government, enough material for 60 to 100 weapons, strong Islamic influences in the military and intelligence.” Al Qaida is not located too far from a nuclear base in Pakistan, the nuclear base is secure, but their government is not, making it much easier for them too have access.

This isnt only a problem for Pakistan but other countries all over the world as well. Other terrorist groups may get ideas and try to do the same to their countries. Also if these nuclear weapons get into the hands of Al Qaida or the Taliban we could be looking at one of the worst wars possible. Pakistan would obviously fire nukes at their enemies, as well as getting the idea that if they can take over Pakistan, they can take over any country.

If Pakistans nuclear weapons get into the hands of the Taliban or Al Qaida, countries all around the world will have to come together and try and fight back. Yes, it may not be the best solution to the problem, but if we dont apply force they wont take us seriously. If something breaks out suddenly I will have an army prepared and ready to go.
