re: #61 Sharmuta

Like Israel being left to deal with iran, I fear the Indians will have to deal with pakistan. Unless 0bama wants to make good on his campaign rhetoric to invade pakistan and piss off his base- this is going to come down to the Indian military to deal with.

IMO China cannot be left out of the calculations. India is their strategic rival so the Chinese traditionally have backed Pakistan. On the other hand, they have at least one rebellious Muslim minority—and I don’t know how porous the China-Pakistan border is.
