Or will the U.S. protect Pakistan from India?
See, your question betrays the most basic flaw with the current Indian leadership - they feel the need to be allowed to do things. They throw tantrums when the U.S. disapproves. If you guys feel the need to defend yourself, just do it. What is the deal with this constant gazing at big brother for his approval? It's demeans you, and gives us less reason to respect you.
