Yes, they are allies. Because they do not bow down and go along woth everything we want does not make them anything else. We have some common goals and some goals that we disagree on and this is normal in any international political situation. Pakistani leaders have internal pressures they have to respond to just like we do here in the US and England. So, yes they are allies.
Remember we were alllies with Stalin in WWII and that was because of the common goal of defeating Hitler. We looked the other way or just disregarded what he did in other areas because of the one common goal.
Pakistan's main focus though is India and will always be their main competitor in the region. The war in Afghanistan is a sideshow for them, although recently that war is spilling over into Pakistan, causing a rift in some areas. And the massive flooding and response will have some effect on the future too.
Once we withdraw from Afghanistan, will we cut down on aid to Pakistan? I think they see a repeat of what happened back after the Russians quit Afghanistan. They look at the long term situation and they see the western powers tiring of the war and starting to make plans to quit. History is repeating itself. Five years down the road they will be on their own again and the big enemy to the east will still be there while the Taliban will have returned to Afghanistan.

This is a good reply and I agree a lot with it.
On reflection, we should support Pakistan and use it to destablise Indian economic ambitions.
I have always felt that India was better off under British rule and I resent the way that the Indians now look down upon their former British masters.
India was much better under our rule. We taught them English, built them railways, fed them, clothed them and civilised them. They have taken what we gave them and become arrogant. When we were their master, they were not arrogant, but obedient. We need to punish their arrogance by giving weapons to Pakistan and freedom fighters in Kashmir.
As for China, we need to destabilise China by creating a beligerant Taiwan. If we can force China's hand to attack Taiwan, then we can give Taiwan nukes to hit back with. We should stay out of direct conflict, so all that happens is that Taiwan and China go up in smoke.

It's nice having kid's, watching them grow up and eventually move out , huh. It's human nature to develop and help others do do, isn't it? Is that about rule, or just doing the right thing, where there is need? Some of us are born to under the rule of others, you may indeed, yourself be that way. That does not make it right or justified.
As for China, you are talking about Human Being's and Human Life. Were I to take your position as anything besides you jerking my chain, I would worry for you. Grow up.

India had a sophisticated culture that was thousands of years old
While the British Island people were still living in caves.

Both of our countries grew great killing, ruling and exploiting others. If the UK and USA want to maintain their global lead, we need to continue our historically-tested policies.
We must not alllow Indians and Chinese to get themselves to a position where we answer to them.
As a Brit, I am simply not prepared to have a world dominated by those who used to rule over.
God bless America and UK.
This statement is at odds with itself. You say as a Brit you have a problem being dominated by former subjects, yet in the next line you bless America a former collection of subjects of the King.
