In Obama's recent count down campaign to push for global nuclear disarmament, I received an email sent to me some months ago which linked to a petition for all nuclear armed countries to disarm their warheads.
I did not sign the petition as this poses a serious threat to Pakistan's security and sovereignty.
Without a nuclear arsenal, Pakistan is a prone to attacks by India or any other hostile power in the West.
Though Pakistan might have a better trained and technologically more advanced military than India, it's main problem is that it's grossly outnumbered.
Even with it's superior missiles, Pakistan can only temporarily hold off a massive ground invasion by the Indian armed forces.
A note to add is Pakistan's northern provinces are a major protection for the country from air and ground raids due to it's higher altitude and rougher terrain. Southern Pakistan is still vulnerable due to it's mostly flat terrain.
India and Pakistan have fought three wars and India's population even voted in BJP Hindutva fanatics, who dream of their imaginary "greater Bharat" and have openly made threatening, undiplomatic statements against Pakistan.
Their will to destroy or swallow our country is not at all weak. The only thing holding them back is the risk of nuclear war, which will leave both our and their country in complete destruction.
Should Pakistan ever disarm it's nuclear arsenal, there is nothing to guarantee India will not make future attempts to go to war.
And even when India is not a threat, what is to grantee that a Western or Middle Eastern allaince will not wadge war against Pakistan?
Already we face the threat of NATO in neighboring Afghanistan who have challenged our sovereignty in the past by attempting to illegally send ground forces into our north western provinces.
Had Pakistan not had one of the most sophisticated defense forces in the world, NATO would not hesitate to occupy the sparsely populated areas of our country in the name of fighting terrorism.
Even if other countries including India agree to disarm their warheads, Pakistan is in serious danger if it does the same.
As already explained above, Pakistani forces are heavily outnumbered by their Indian counterparts, but with nuclear weapons, there is no chance of a winner on either side. A conventional war will simply be too unpredictable for Pakistan.
In a similar comparison, America might have bigger and stronger forces than North Korea, but does not risk waging a war against this weaker nation due to North Korea's nuclear capabilities, which can most likely reach America's western coastal cities.
A nuclear war has never been fought and probably never will be as long as both sides are armed with nuclear warheads. The same case will be with Pakistan and any foreign aggressor that may threaten it.
It's the same comparison when one tall, strong man is outnumbered by ten short, skinny men. But when all the men have guns with enough bullets to kill each other off, the balance of power is more or less equal.
