The military is run by fanatic Muslims and ignore the civilian leadership, and on its own has helped the Taliban, al Queda and supported terrorist attacks against India (such as the attack on the Indian parliamanet and the attack on Bombay in which several Jews were killed). In might be tempting to suggest the US should simply ally itself with India, and get rid of Pakistan once and for all, and the Pakistani military activities would be a rather open “casus belli”, but most of the people in Pakistan are opposed to the fanatics, so we would be wiping out a leading concentration of pro-western Muslims.
