Can India support US if Bush declars war against Pakistan for aiding terrorism directly/indirectly in Kashmir?

Yes.  Millitary action has to be taken against Pakisthan so that the terrorist problems in Kashmir will come to end.  The right person to take millitary acgtion is US. Only Bush dare do it. The only male President US has ever seen is none other than Mr. Bush.  Like he has controlled terrorism in Afgan and Iraq, he should step in Pak and control its nose poking activity. Then India will always be a trusted friend of US.

Yes. It's just a matter of where, and when.\n\nIf I had to put money on it, I'd wager on either India and Pakistan going at it, or North Korea starting something.

Kashmir is a funny issue. It was an independent state with a Hindu ruler and a largely Muslim population. During the partition, the ruler decided to stay independent of both, India and Pakistan. When Pakistan illegally tried invading the State, the ruler signed the instrument with assession to India. He was legally empowered to do so and so legally, Kashmir is Indian territory. To be fair, if the subjects were given a choice, they just may have chosen Pakistan... but now that is hypothetical.\nEver since, much blood has been spilt needlessly over Kashmir. Since neither side will back down, the only solution now is to maintain status quo and convert the Line of Control (the de facto current border) as the official International Border.

That's right.  General Musharraf, a non-Democratic leader who seized power, is the best ally we could possibly have from a place like Pakistan.  If they had a Democratically-elected leader who reflected the attitudes of the people, he would be strongly anti-American since the overwhelming majority of Pakistani people are.  Bush's policy of encouraging Democracy should not apply here!

Pakistan and India are not run by Islamic Extremist that are bent on harming others outside their countries.  These two nations fear each other, but do not threaten Israel, the United States, Russia or Western Europe.  Iran does!

No. I guess u got the wrong info. Let me give u some facts on India / Pak regarding Kashmir since 1947. Its long but i hope u read it. Read especially the part about partition, and the states having a choice whom to join.\n\n\nPakistan claims that Kashmir should be a part of Pakistan bcoz majority population is Muslim (mainly after terrorizing and driving out 600,000 Hindus). The Pak army just wants to use Kashmir as a base for a larger agenda of destroying and talibanizing India and converting it into a Islamic theocracy. And India's claim is based on the treaty signed by the then king of Kashmir (same treaty was signed by other princely states for accession to India) and secularism.\n\nUN Security Council resolutions 38-40, and particularly the resolution of August 13, 1948, said that Pakistan had attacked Kashmir, and ordered Pakistan to withdraw its forces and its tribals (those were disguised as tribals but they were pak army men). Pakistan has yet to obey UN Security Council and withdraw from lands (now called POK, Pak Occupied Kashmir) controlled illegally.\nRecently released documents reveal that in 1948, the then US Secretary of State Gen. George C. Marshall told the pro-Pak British that Kashmirs accession with India was legal and final as far as US was concerned.\nIn 1952, the Kashmir legislature, elected in elections recognized by observers as free and fair, with 100% of the legislators Muslim, voted to ratify Kashmirs accession with India. And the elections after that too were similar. Compare POK with Indian Kashmir.\n\nPakistan gave away a large part of the POK to China, which now claims those lands as its own.\n\nIn April 1993, then CIA director James Woosley at an open Senate hearing said, Pakistan, while not yet on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, but is Aon the brink. (in 1993, now its worse).\nIn December 1999, the Director of CIA George Tenet and State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism Michael Sheen testified before a Senate subcommittee that US has evidence that Pakistan is a state-sponsor of terrorism against India.\nIn 2000, State Departments report on terrorism described Pakistans official involvement in terrorism against India, but fell short of adding Pakistan to list of countries sponsoring terrorism because that would have automatically triggered severe sanctions against an old cold-war ally.\nIn 2000, a bipartisan Congressional commission on terrorism recommended to the State Department that sanctions be imposed on Pakistan for its role in terrorism, but this report was ignored.\n\nThe British government in Spring 2001 put several Pakistan-supported organizations openly engaged in terrorism on the official list of terrorist organizations, to be followed later by the US.\nMajor political parties in Pakistan and Pak media have repeatedly asked Pak governments over the years to break bonds with terrorists and get out of the Kashmir issue, because supporting terrorists has resulted only in increasing Talibanization of Pakistan.\nBenazir Bhutto, ex-Pak Prime Minister, has said that ISI (Pakistani governments intelligence service) is a force onto itself, and she had no knowledge of what ISI was doing when she was PM.\nOn 11-21-01, the Hon. Mr. Robert D. Blackwell, US Ambassador to India, told the press that Pakistan-supported individuals involved in killings in Kashmir are terrorists and that They are not freedom fighters. No country will be permitted to provide sanctuaries to terrorists. He made similar comments again on 2-27-02\n\nPak Governments direct and obvious involvement in terrorism against India over decades has resulted in 50,000 HINDUS being amongst 70,000 innocent civilians KILLED and 500,000 TO 600,000 HINDUS FLED KASHMIR IN TERROR; world has been silent about this ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir.\n\nPakistan, which created, nurtured and protected Taliban, has claimed that Taliban is not terrorist.\nPakistan press reported in Dec. 2001 th

Useful for India but bad for America. There will be more outsourcing of American jobs, and sharing our nuclear technology with them is a big mistake.  Today they are our friends but what in about 5 years?  11 years ago we were boycotting India.  \n\nDid you know that the US supported Saddam in the past?

There are two reasons for this. One, America stands to profit from a leader like Musharraf. Musharraf may have snatched the position of power in an unscruplous way, but he still manages to keep his country fairly peaceful and does not encourage jehad(holy war) openly. So it makes sense having a leader with a popular vote (despite no democracy), one who does not bomb India/the world. \n\nSecondly, India's association with the US is fine, but it would never accept any war attacks on China from its soil. The next best bet? Pakistan of course. Pakistan also benefits economically out of this friendship - F 16s, nuclear technology, emergency aid et al. So the US actually benefits having a base to declare war on China(similar to Puerto Rico to keep an eye on Cuba) \n\nNow, having voiced my opinion on the Pak friendship, US actually preaches democracy and tries to install the same whereever possible. But when trying to install democracy or instigating change does not benefit the US economically, it does not do anything. Makes sense, after all US is a capitalistic economy. \n\nIts all a case of how-is-it-going-to-help-me and that is really what makes the US great!

Lookig at the present moment.I'am sure in my mind that North Korea will play a major role as an axis power in the far east.This will definately provoke the US,South Korea and Japan to mobalize.But we all know what the Japanese and Sotuh Koreans are going to do,their going need help from the US,which means the US is going to fight their war.\n\nThen in the Middle east,since Iran and North Korea have some ties,not the best but share the same intention to destroy the US,they might attack the US's main ally in the middle east.That will pull Isreal,Afghanistan and Pakistan to war.Pakistan being a lap dog of the US,will be forced to war(something good for India)\n\nBack again to the far east,China might get involved indirectly in matters of the North Koreans in orfer to persure its own motives,that is to take Tiwan.\n\nIn all of this,the European nation's will join to support the US,britain will deffinately fight in the far east.And other Euro nations might help the Isrealies.(French are a bit slow,Germans too)\n\nSo the mega war,will involve the European union,South Korea,North Korea,United States,Japan,Tiwan,China ,Iran,Syria,Afghanistan,Pakistan.\nIn the corse of war,India might find it difficult to take sides,so it might take up a postion of non allignment.(speaking as an Indian)\n\nRussia would be too bussy with chechnya.But if did have to commit its troops it would be in the east.As observers of the EU.They have histories with the present communist nations and iran therefore manking it diffult for them to commint fully.\nA final note:what ever happens the US is going to have its hands full,a result of poking around too much.

It all depends on the monarch, the previous one was allied to both India and Pakisthan so he couldnot support any of the nations but the current one has publicly embraced his support of India.\n\nIt's a matter of personal preference, friendship

What you stated is something that I have repeated on this forum countless times, and yet these plain facts seem to bounce off the heads of Bush supporters the way bullets bounce off of Superman. They are oblivious to the fact Bush’s so called “War on Terror” does not truly address the progenitors of terror; namely Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Saudi Arabia provides much of the financing and ideological foundation for Islamic terror groups like Al Qaeda, and Pakistan offers the theological and military training grounds (think Madrassas) and it was in that country that the Taliban was born, and it is in Pakistan’s Western border region where many top Al Qaeda and Taliban officials are being harbored. \n\nBush’s closest action to ending Islamic terror was attacking the Taliban in Afghanistan, and rooting out some Al Qaeda terror cells that existed in that region. But this was a futile effort, since he has diverted most of our military resources to Iraq, thus leaving Al Qaeda and the Taliban free to regroup and rebuild their infrastructures. \n\nThe truth of the matter is George Bush’s war isn’t a “War on Terror” as much as it is a war to divert your attention from the failure of their “War on Terror”.

Yeah you are right and they even have the audacity to say things like whoever attacks them or tries to take their nukes out then they will hit India and they say this after four defeats in four wars.India should teach them a lesson and the POK should be recaptured  because it is a part of india and the pakis are illegaly occupying it and using it as a launching pad for terrorist activities against India.Pakistan should not play with India's patience 'cause when it does run out then Pakistan will have no place to hide.

President Bush came to India in order to make a settlement with the Indian government which his comrades were un-able to accomplish.That was : to introduce India as a legitimate partner in the Nuclear field.\nHe wanted the support of India and in order to do so he "recognized" their potencial against terrorism and China in Asia.\nIn short : " he wanted allies " cause Pakistan is run by a buntch of ducks!!

Considering Pakistan was part of India until the U.K. dismantled India into two countries before it left. I side with India. Same thing as in Palestine. The Israelis have an inch and want a yard.
