#2 This is where we should be allied. Pakistan was an alliance of convenience from the cold war.

Were it not for logistical considerations, we woudl probably be well into the process of a "divorce" from Pkistan - or at least able to pressure them a lot harder in cracking down on the Talib and ISI activities.

#3 Alliance of convenience? The Indians were virtual allies of the Ruskies. It's not like they left us a lot of choice. And there are still a lot of wackos in power there. This could all fall apart. So it pays to keep a foot in each camp till India has really proven itself as an ally.
