I've long advocated this position, because i've thought for the longest time that we were backing the wrong horse in that scenario. It's odd that the country the Soviets picked and the country we picked in the Cold War, the one the Soviets picked ended up better off and far more democratic on the whole (aside from an incident of Martial law under Indira Gandhi, and granting that she was the elected leader anyway, they've been democratic from the getgo, while Pakistan has had Zia ul-Huq and Musharraf to deal with)
I am wondering what Pakistan will do at this venture, however. My head tells me it's going to blow over, and this is just a temporary suspension to show how pissed off they are, but if Pakistan does bar our access to Afghanistan, that'll be the end of it, because you can't get there without going through either Russian, pro-Russian, Chinese, or Iranian airspace if Pakistan is off the table, and that's only if we consider air-lifts and none of the kinds of supplies that need ground transport
