As appealing as it is to let India deal with Pakistan, I’m not entirely sure it would work well. We sold the Pakistanis a lot of military hardware over the years, while the Indians are still largely working with Russian stuff. Edge to Pakistan; No one except our own military could take out our 1980′s-vintage hardware.
Also, India has its own restive Muslim minority, and I’m not sure they want to deal with striking directly at and perhaps occupying Pakistan (at least not without knowing that the nukes are locked down). India has not had a pretty history with its restive minorities. I’m guessing that what the Sikhs did to Mrs. Gandhi has not been forgotten.
