Well, while an alingment with India might offset some of that,it would also increase tensions in a regions like Kashmir not to mention the fact, you have a pipeline in Pakistan where weapons can be delivered by unconventional means. While a MAD doctine makes sense when you have controlled stockpiles on both sides in this case you don't, in Pakistans case to abandon that you would be giving them license to run around handing this technology off to rouge states and terrorists groups if they have not already. In some ways by have a somewhat distant allience with them it serves both our interests and theirs.
