The author seems to miss the point that our most serious threat (i.e.. nuclear weapon of Pakistan) comes from China and not USA. China believes in using Pak for contain India policy.. We need arms and technology to survive our deadly neighbour who will go to any extent to destroy india. And US has the technology to help us. After all it is isreal that is selling vital arms to us in recent past. The reality is following middle path simply means no friends. As far as USA preferring Pak, the truth has to be seen in the actions of US and not in what Bush says.. US bombed madarasa the day Pak's govt signed treaty with tribal leaders. Though US govt said nothing it showed what it can do. Pak is currently a US hostage where as India is a different case. We need investments from them and they need market. And by no stretch of imagination we are pro-US in our foriegn policy, we are dealing with US like China dealt with them in 70s and 80s. Every nation in the world has an evil past even India in its 60 years have a few black spots, it is pragmatism that should guide our foreign policy and not rethorics.
