8. Obviously, but it is an economical way to stir up trouble

Punish a regime dominated by religious men, seems reasonable enough, but punish an impoverished nation of 260 million along with them, especially if said nation is their next door neighbor, and you are writing your own ticket for disaster, and that is assuming that no nuclear arms are even being considered for use. Pakistan's imams and generals will always have enough water for themselves. It's the other 260 million in the population who, if led to believe that it is all India's fault, can manipulated into being mindless cannon fodder for Pakistan.
