The US Admirals statement should be taken a general statement of intention. If we go into micro details, it will not be advisable to have Indian troops stationed along the Western borders of Pakistan. Such an action will weaken the stability of the Government in Islamabad and will just add to further tension in the region. Well inside the borders of Afghanistan, perhaps India can play a major role in speeding up the economic development of that country. The Eastern borders of Afghanistan need to be manned by the forces of those countries that gave birth to Taliban for fighting the Soviets. They should be ready to take on the casualties as they are responsible to a great extent for the present situation.
