#7  Is there anywhere in the "Islamic world" which could afford, in any sense of the word, a war with any other nation?

#5  This could be a huge opportunity for India, to set up a vast training area in Afghanistan, rotating entire Corps, that would function as a border guard in an ironically crescent shaped pattern along the 2430km border with Pakistan.

Afghanistan and India would become bestest buddies. And Pakistan would lose its marbles.

#4  "Ah, now we start getting to the heart of it."

Yup. As long as the government of Afghanistan is friendly with India, Pakistan will continue stirring trouble there.
