Afghanistan
Our Indian problem in Afghanistan
2010-11-09
In which a crusty Washington insider tries to convince us that if only we cracked down on the Indians, the Pakistanis would become confident enough to allow us to accommodate their legitimate interests in meddling in Afghanistan.

Written in the tone-deaf style that only WaPo and the NYT do so well.

#4  siding with India is the smart and right thing to do. The Pakis have proven to be half-hearted allies, and are actively supporting our enemies in the interests of their "Great Game" aspirations. It would be nice to neuter their nukes and force them to change or put them to the sword. They are a Islamic nuthouse and backwater, not a great power.

#3  Pakistan can NEVER make true peace with India, since that would undercut the entire rationale for the country to begin with. The only reason that there is a Pakistan is that the vicious little buggers could not get along with the rest of the Indians and had to split off.

#2  Between China and India are nearly half the population of the planet. We are much better off being their friends. Pakistan needs to get over their phobia of India and realize that they could have a very powerful ally right next door if they could set aside their ego.

#1  Are about the same as your "Israeli Problem" in ME: you want to piss on your friends in order to appease your enemies---ones that won't be satisfied with anything short of your complete extermination. Credentialed a$$hole.
