All we did was take the opportunity of an indigenous rebellion to expel the Communists -- India's allies -- from countries they had taken by force. Getting the Communists out of there was the right thing to do.
Unfortunately, in freeing Afghanistan, the democratic forces wound up losing out to the Islamist forces. So now hte country has had to be liberated again, at great cost in blood and treasure to the United States.
The United States has a long record of opposing terrorism and laying out our resources and our people to fight it. India's record on that score is quite different.
For example, according to the Washington Times (January 2, 2002), India is supporting cross-border terrorism in Sindh (a province of Pakistan.) The newspaper Hitavada reported that the late governor of Punjab, Surendra Nath, was paid the equivalent of $1.5 billion to foment, organize, and support covert state terrorism in Punjab and in Kashmir.
What kind of record is that?
Bull$hit. Tell me about Bangladesh. Wo supported whom. And the Nixon-era China love-affair. And the one still going on with Pakistan. And the Saudis. And the Iraqis, before Saddam became the enemy. And Iran, in the late '40s.

Definitions. Definitions. Definitions.
Anyway, the mainstream terrorism is wiped out in Punjab. In Kashmir, it's dying. Plus, 1-billion to foment terrorism? A tad bit too much for a country like India, wouldn't you think? And foment terrorism for what gain? Punjab and Kashmir are states of the Union, and have no right, or its people, neither the will, nor the necessity, to secede.
