Not sure why. Perhaps the OP author can add some context to the post.

There’s little familiarity with the region and its history. There’s no religious link like there is for Christians and the “holy land”. This isn’t the I/P situation where the US government plays a large role.

Hell, I doubt most government officials have much of a clue what’s going on there. It may be best for the US to sit this out, aside from pressuring Pakistan more to crack down on anti Indian terrorism.

And I think they'll probably find a resolution short of a full military conflict.

India has good reason to be pissed off.
