#1 I thought it would have been a brilliant stroke to have invited India into Afghanistan, and at some point, at least, they offered to do so, but were snubbed. Likely the Pakistani military about had a dog stroke with the very idea.

But that being said, why not invite India in, quietly, on condition that they limit their activities to western Afghanistan, on the border with Iran, and interdicting drugs flowing to Europe through Iran?

#2 Anonymoose, I seem to recall India is doing roadbuilding and such in an obscure corner of Afghanistan. Who knows what else they're doing out of the public eye?

#3 All India needs is a land route across 'disputed' Pak Occupied Kashmir.
