I think you are right.

And you also bring up something else by mentioning India.

Pakistan. It is likely that Pak will go with the Muslim world. It is just one assassin's bullet away from that now.

When that happens, what happens in Afghanistan?

Of course there are other factors, but it is hard to think of all of them this late at night.

There will also be a period when the Malaysian area will erupt in support of the Mid-eastern Islamofacists. Australia and New Zealand and Japan, will be the main counterpoise in the Western Pacific for the near term, but Japan has to spool up and fast.

South Korea will remain in place to defend itself against Korea.

When this happens, the south American anti-American crowd will begin serious agitation against US interests.

Western Africa will also be another safe haven for the terrorists, as they are now, and we will put few responses into stopping that because we will be so busy elsewhere.

IMHO we need to begin a draft as a complement to the existing forces, and we need to bring up to speed our ability to supply ourselves and our allies on multiple fronts.

However, these plans will not take place because there will be no support for this in Congress. Without support there, no action will be taken and a great deal will happen in the world while we watch.

We can stop it now by a strong policy of intervention. It will cost the fewest lives to do it now, before they have nukes, rather than wait for the very public displays of horror that the common masses will see as the proof that we are under attack in the West.
