Does any one see a problem with this?
Administration to sell F-16s to Pakistan.
"The sale of F-16s will not change the overall balance of power" between Pakistan and India, a senior administration official said of the decision. India's prime minister expressed "great disappointment," a spokesman in New Delhi said.
Washington blocked sales of F-16s to Pakistan in 1990 as a sanction against its nuclear program.

Does any one see a problem with selling advanced weapon systems to a country with nuclear capabilities that has tense relations with another country with nuclear capabilities? Wouldn't F16s be an ideal launching platform to deliver nukes to a neighboring country?
Didn't Pakistan have problems with supplying nuclear technology to terrorists a while back?
Some how this move doesn't make me feel "safer".
