But, but haven't foreign troops already been putting their boots, scratching their ball$ etc on paki soil?

What a blow to paki dignity if Indian troops were manning the Afghan-pak border <!--emo&:devil--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devilsmiley.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='devilsmiley.gif' /><!--endemo-->

So all this talk of giving India a bigger role in Afghanistan a result of the Indo-US nuke deal?

Either way, India is being cultivated as a US ally in the region and we may be required to step in the future if the US decides to reduce its presence in the region. But any Indian troops in Afghanistan should be under Indian command and not part of some NATO/US command structure.
