  Oh I am not even arguing for india to become an MNNA, regardless of my personal beliefs Indian foreign policy is to be partners with everyone and Allying with no one resulting in India taking part in issue based partnerships over alliances.
context: Calling the people who hid Bin Laden and Ally while propping up the Taliban seems kind of stupid. >
  
  But making them openly an enemy would be worse. At least there's some cooperation now. >
  
  It is part of cento and seato with the US and is still designated as MNNA (major non nato ally). >
  
  SEATO died 50 years ago. CENTO died 48 years ago. >
  
  Yeah i was countering the above comment that Pakistan is not an ally i know that both of those orgs no longer exist although mnna still remains. >
  
  Using SEATO and CENTO to call the US and Pakistan Allies is like saying that the US and Japan are at war because of Public Law 77-328, 55 STAT 795. The main stumbling block to India becoming an MNNA is that you can't make major arms purchases from Russia and be part of the program.
