hen again, nobody can ever verify who started what between India and Pakistan. We are talking about who pressed the nuclear button first. That should be darn easy to verify! When that continues, more and more people will only support the RSS, VHP and BJP. Something that will stop when people realize that they cannot live on hatred, jingoism and temple-building alone. How long do you think that will go on? I will give it a decade at the most. Sooner or later the sh*t will have to hit the fan! The US would rather have the Saudis and the egyptians than the pakis if they needed to exert influence in the middle east. What is turning out is that the US needs more allies to counter china in south/south-east asia where pakistan does not figure at all. We are not talking about the Middle East. We are talking about West Asia and Central Asia. Sure, Pakistan's importance has undoubtedly diminished ever since the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan. That doesn't automatically mean that US will treat India as an ally. The US has its own strategic interests to pursue and is far better off with an "independent" Kashmir rather than a Kashmir that gets its orders from New Delhi or Islamabad.
