It never ever occured to anyone, ...much less the US administration how serious Islam was a threat to humankind in the 70s and 80s. You wake up when it hard. But US should have known that this was in the coming. India has been a victim of Islamic terrorism right from the days of Zia-ul-Haq who was instrumental in Islamising Pakistan. US continuously supported Pakistan blindly without seeing the consequences and continues to do so in the face of overwhelming evidence that contrary to being an ally in the war on terrorism Pakistan is supporting the Terrorists overtly and covertly. Terrorist camps keep sprouting up. Arrested militants get released when the pressure is off the Govt.
If the US is serious about the war on terror then call off this sham arrangement with the Pakistanis. If anyone knows about Pakistan's true colors it's India.
