India (you now conveniently forget in the light of new found friendship with Pakistan) was the first country to declare "unconditional" support in you war in Afganistan. Your country chose Pakistan.

Let me change the question to make it more clear. Did India fight against Taliban in Afghanistan or the Taliban in the hideouts in Pakistan? If there was unconditional support, why were our troops unable to drive through India and through Kasmir area to enter Afghanistan? Does India recognize US could only rely on Pakistan to send force from ground, even it was rejected? What do you see around Afghanistan other than Pakistan? The only other countries with access from sea were Iran and China. Yes, Pakistan did not allow US forces to drive through Pakistan, but at least hunted down Taliban hideouts even it was not enough. Pakistan has considered at least to send troops to Iraq under UN supervision, even though it was rejected. What about India? Yes, Pakistan had not done enough but at least done something that deserves F-16s. Why is it wrong to reward for the help? Do you trust countries that do not reward for help?

"Did India fight against Taliban in Afghanistan or the Taliban in the hideouts in Pakistan?"

---India was ready to do just that! It was the US who asked us to stay away. So be it!

"If there was unconditional support, why were our troops unable to drive through India and through Kasmir area to enter Afghanistan? "

Becoz (have a look at he map) the Indian side of Kashmir does not share a border with Afganistan. It has a border with Pakistan and China only.

"Does India recognize US could only rely on Pakistan to send force from ground, even it was rejected?"

---"even it was rejected "

"Pakistan has considered at least to send troops to Iraq under UN supervision, even though it was rejected."

---"even though it was rejected"

Wow! And you "rejected" us in favour of Pakistan.

Well, like Pakistan even we at least considered to send troops to Iraq under UN supervision, but then.... we rejected the idea!

"Why is it wrong to reward for the help? Do you trust countries that do not reward for help?"

Oh yes absolutely! Do reward them for spreading the nukes across all the rogue states that exists in the world. They richly deserve the F-16s! </sarcasm>

Err,When you offer unconditional support,the US has to accept or reject it.Pakistani support was seen as more logical & necessary at the point of time & Musharraf's main precondition was that India & Israel should not have any "Active role" in military action.BTW,have any idea about which countries formed & armed the Northern Alliance who did most of the fighting???

Did India fight against Taliban in Afghanistan or the Taliban in the hideouts in Pakistan

Yes. Who do you think supplied weapons, training and Support to the Northern Alliance after 96 and before 2001? India, Russia, Iran and Uzbekistan, that's who.

Pakistan had not done enough but at least done something that deserves F-16s. Why is it wrong to reward for the help? Do you trust countries that do not reward for help?

Give them money to help alleviate their poverty then. help them build better roads, dams etc. You think giving F-16s is a 'reward'???? SO, Pakistan was 'rewarding' North Korea by giving the NKs nuclear weapons?
