'_India should send military to Afghanistan post-US withdrawal' - With the gradual withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, time has now come for India to send its military inside _
"It makes sense for the two largest democracies to be military allies. On Afghanistan, India, as you know, as a security establishment, is already fighting over 30 insurgencies or guerilla operations," Senator Mark Kirk said at a discussion forum organised by Washington-based think tank, Foreign Policy Initiative.
"The Indian security establishment well understands this challenge. I think can correctly perceive that moving terror from North or South or general parts of Dafatan into secured bases around Kabul with the fall of the Karzai government would represent a long-term real security threat for India," he said.
"Remember, if you have terror bases operating against India from Pakistan, Pakistan is subjected to pressure from India. If Pakistan could offload that terror training and operations into metropolitan Afghanistan, it makes it much harder for India to pressure for the end of those operations," Kirk said.

India has better things to do than getting militarily involved in America's wars. Who is the Indian military going to fight in Afghanistan? If the Afghan government asks for India's help that is another matter. But that is between India and Afghanistan and none of the USA's business. India told the USA a long time ago that Pakistan was the hotbed of world terrorism. But those clowns thought Pakistan is an ally. Why should India now get involved to correct that arrogant mistake?
