>>Where was the US sense of "we have a mandate to fix things our way"<<

Be careful what you ask for.

"Fixing" Kashmir isn't outside the realm of possibilities.

My understanding is that if there were a completely free and fair referendum there, as to which country the majority of the Kashmiri residents wanted to belong to, Pakistan or India, Pakistan would win. After all, the majority population is Muslim.

However, if the populace were given the opportunity, they'd rather be independent.

Oddly enough (being sarcastic here) India doesn't want these issues to be resolved by referendum. Wonder why?
