1. I AM SHOCKED
:sarcasm:

India has shown admirable restraint that no other nation would ever show. Pakistani terrorist were responsible for the Mumbai attacks and Pakistani would not go after the group that perpetrated them.


If it was not for the nuke issue I would have no problem letting India take care of them

5. If Mexico had been training terrorists against US
and India had been supporting Mexico, I dont think US and India would have been on very good terms.
