India - Pakistan Conflict Possible

On the 22nd I wrote in COTTonLINE that the only nation which might have the backbone, and motivation, to tackle the mess in Pakistan was India. Frankly, when I wrote that I believed it to be unlikely.

Today I read a Mark Steyn column in National Review in which he takes the likelihood of Indian action more seriously. Steyn says:
If you’re...India, following Obama’s apology tour even as you watch the Taliban advancing on those Pakistani nukes, would you want to bet the future on American resolve?
Maybe an Indian invasion of Pakistan is not so unlikely. If it happens, millions will die. Those two countries don't like each other, not even a little.
