I would agree if it weren't for the current instability with regard to Pakistan. The last thing the USA wants is for a nuclear exchange b/w you guys and the Pakis.

Between India and Pakistan? Well, I doubt that it will ever happen? MSM has a habit of drum-beating an issue so that they can take maximum benefit of the situation. I mean, how many times have you been glued to the TV everytime a big banner with "BREAKING" flashes?
MAD applies in the India-Pakistan context as well. Pakistan knows if it lobs a nuke at India, they'll have hell to pay with retaliatory Indian strikes.
