We've also got 1 billion Indians who would love to smackdown the Pakis.
Perhaps, but the fact remains that we, and now the Brits, have misplaced trust in Musharraf. Pakistan's meager attempt to dismatle it's terror infrastructure is more attractive than anything India can be depended upon to deliver.
If India had its druthers, this would be the #1 item on the Indian PM's agenda in meetings with Bush - not the plea for support for membership to the SC of the disgraceful UN. If India has the aspirations and potential for a world power, I'd expect Mr. Singh to convince and obtain the support of Bush for a course of action that India can and will take against Pakistan. A shade of the single-mindedness of Indira Gandhi vis a vis East Pakistan, is probbably not misplaced here. After all, it suffers as much if not more from the terror emanating from Pakistan.
India's inability, diplomatically or otherwise, to thwart a thriving terrorist epicenter right on it's door-step, and failure in enlisting the support of the US and UK, isn't exactly the kind of stuff that world powers are made of.
