Pakistan versus India: 

Pakistan:  While it's understandable that we want to have some influence over Pakistan - because of their nuclear weapons, because of their border with Afghanistan, and because of the supply routes through their country that we use to supply our troops in Afghanistan, it's still amazing how we're  bribing a country who, for all intents and purposes, is basically our enemy to pretend to be our friend.

India:  The situation is really unique - we bribe our enemy (Pakistan) who pretends to be our friend and we largely ignore the largest democracy in the world - a country who - even in an imperfect world, should be a strong ally.  Think we need a little more balance in the U.S./Pakistan/India triangle.  Maybe gently play off India against Pakistan.  Can't see us permenantly favoring Pakistan over India.

Long Term Solution:  No real recommendations to the above, just thinking that the current situation probably won't last as a long term solution.  Probably, the only thing that would really "fix" things is an eventual change to the Muslim psyche - in regard to tolerance for others by the vast majority of Muslims.  However, have to think that that will take a long time...................  Wonder if we need a radio free Muslim world (much like the old radio free Europe), and try, over time, to induce more reasonable (tolerant) behavior.
