A bad peace is better that a good war. For us, the Indians, and a lot of others. I seriously doubt that the majority of Indians would back an open war with Pakistan. There is surely a political faction that would like to deal with them once and for all, but that time has not yet arrived, and maybe never will. And there is no telling what the Chinese would do if that sort of war broke out in their backyard.

There is no telling what real open warfare may release. The US profits by having orderly world trade, banking and finance. Dispruptions in trade and crooked trade, such as all the under the table Oil-for-food deals, etc., never work out too good for most American companies. We play into the hands of the entropy masters (the Russians, among others) when we promote that kind of chaos.

Pakistan is not ‘fixable’ by any known means at this time. It is reminiscent of previous rotten almagamations, such as the Turkish domination of Arabia before WWI, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire of the same era. It will probably fall apart on its own accord in a few more years. Then would be the time to be ready to re-organize the valuable parts into something of a reasonable set of nation states.
