Pakistan while feigning alliance during the Afghanistan War was actually supporting terrorist groups and giving safe haven to the Taliban. America poured billions into Pakistan much of which was siphoned off by corruption and much of the money actually funded the Pakistani Intelligence Service which was supporting terrorist groups who in turn were attacking Americans in Afghanistan. Pakistan was paranoid about India and used terrorist groups to harass and attack that country. America had been a little reluctant to form a strong alliance with India as during the cold war they were neutral and did not support us. But it was a real democracy, as opposed to Pakistan, and not duplicitous like Pakistan had been.
