It's a balance. Musharref has been generally helpful, but he can't do too much without getting himself killed.

We don't need a war with Pakistan if we can help it. We still have Iran and Syria to deal with.

Naturally India has its own interests. On the other hand, if Indira Gandhi hadn't decided to ally India with the Soviet Union and rally the third world against us, the U.S. never would have started backing Pakistan. India was originally our first choice.

What would you expect the Indians to do after what Custer did to them at Wounded Knee

Too many americans dont know that Pakistan has nuke..many of them, and will use them if provoked. Musharref always struck me as more friendly towards us than the Saudis, but like you say..he can only do so much.
