There's still really no excuse for India's "nonaligned" alignment with Moscow. America was well justified in its support for Pakistan under those conditions. India's lack of judgement has doubtfully improved, given its stand on our involvement in Iraq.

How, may I ask, was America "well justified" to act the way it did then? And what was special about the circumstances?

Remember Bangladesh, which won independence due to India's intervention is a far moderate country than Pakistan, which is now a Jehadi hellhole.

Both sides made mistakes during the cold war. It is an overstatement to say that only India showed a lack of judgement.
