India Key to US Success in AfPak Region
Matthew Kaminski, Wall Street Journal | May 22, 2009
Despite Islamist insurgencies in Afghanistan and Pakistan preoccupying Washington, the solution to the Obama administration's so-called "AfPak" problem runs through India. ++ That Pakistan has nearly 100 nuclear weapons and is so unstable is an obvious threat to India. ++ "For any Pakistani revolutionary, India is a convenient enemy and a fifth Indo-Pakistani war in 62 years is a desirable goal." ++ The US will have to be an intermediary in the region, but New Delhi won't take orders from Washington lightly.
