To the Editor:
If--as seems clear--the terrorist attack on Mumbai was launched by a group in Pakistan--the government of Pakistan faces an existential crisis. If it cannot make and enforce decisions of war and peace with its neighbors, it presides over a failed state. No non-state faction can be permitted to drag a whole nation into war. The stakes are enormous. Consider the meaning of a Lebanon with nuclear weapons.
