The US should have taken out the Taliban in Afghanistan AND the slamofascist dicatorship in Pakistan (eliminating theIslamicbomb and preventing its proliferation to North Korea, Iran, Libya etc.)
What a grand strategic thought. The USA in a joint operation with India and help from Russia and the 'Stans should have moved in and taken out Pakistan and Afghanistan (ruled by the Paki backed Taliban). India has historic links to Afghanistan so they are not ethnic strangers. Pakistan is a failed state - period. It should be granted autonomy within India. Many Pakistanis would welcome Indian rule - some Pakis are Shia and being killed through Sunni Paki jihadists.
