After Pakistan put up resistance to our initial access through Pakistan to Afghanistan shortly after 9/11 my thought process was simple. India and Pakistan are natural enemies. Let's use India to destroy the Muslims in Pakistan, and hopefully in the process, India would rid itself of their own Muslim problem.
India for years has had a Muslim terrorist problem. They could have been a great ally, and far fewer Americas would have been killed in Afghanistan while securing regional peace.
Today, India still has its problems. Pakistan is not even remotely helping America in the region, and Afghanistan is still a hellhole full of the cult of death - no closer to being tamed. The Taliban is just waiting to overrun Kabul.
Chuck Hagel is not even close to being a Republican, and in general is just an idiot.
Interesting point in history, Gandhi let the Muslims take control (he encouraged it) after India received its independence from Britain. At one time, the Brits actually had religion and knew evil when they say it. Gandhi undid that.
WOW! You seem to know the real facts behind the curtain.
Gandhi was a worse appeaser than Neville Chamberlain IMO, and was the main reason Pakistan was allowed to happen as a religion based country.
