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.
