Notice I have to say 'if' and not 'when'.
Stratfor examines the possibility of Indian military retaliation against Pakistan for the Mumbai attacks.
About 2/3 the way down, they mention that the US's main achilles heel in Pakistan is in the main port of Karachi, which it would not even be able to seize if Pakistan fell apart. Big deal, I think the US could seize Gwadar fairly easily, and then use Baluchistan as its supply corridor. Fine, it's rough terrain, but it's not totally intraversible. Call it a Hail Mary play, like Schwarzkopf did.

Day by day Indian express south India edition is turning sickular
Look at this editorial, which claims that terror has no effect on the people. But the best statement is
“If the voters thought otherwise, it was apparently because they looked upon these as passing phases with no long-term effect. Not only would prices come down, as they have already started to do, but the very insanity of the jihadis would lead them to their doom. They were also probably not too pleased by the BJP’s propensity to make political capital out of such tragedies.”
Terror the editor thinks is a passing phase.
