Pakistanis are mostly moderate and secular. The tribal territories are a totally different story. Ultimately they will get back on course with democracy. Even under military rule, rights have not been curtailed like in Iran, where you can be detained for no reason, with no recourse to the courts.
I still think we're more likely to see nukes being used by a hostile Iranian state than anywhere else, but I agree that the risks in India/Pakistan are not to be minimized and that the world should discourage proliferation on general principle. We can't turn back the clock on countries that have nuclear weapons, but we can work to reduce stockpiles in countries with nukes, esp. US, Russia, and China, and we can actively discourage others from buying into the nuclear arms race.
