Sadly, there is no great US interest in this specific area, except for the terrorists hiding in these countries. Other than that, they can kill themselves all they want and they won't get a whole lot of play in the US. Because there is no US 'official' interest, there is going to be little in the news cycle to create any public opinion.

The Onion once had a headline: "50,000 brown people die somewhere" - and honestly, all the fighting in Kashmir falls into that category. We all think it is a shame, but nobody is lining up to fix it (until they threaten to use nukes, the the US gets all excited for about a week, until they back down, then it goes back to just being a spot on the map again)
