What other choice we had that time? The refugee crisis was increasingly getting intense and had we not acted our eastern regions were under threat of demographic destabilization. I don't agree to the notion that J&K is a disputed territory. I've already stated earlier that neither India...

Then would you please care to explain the actions of Pakistan and the PA? So let us assume that the planners were aware of the extent of the Indian reaction. Then, why is it that the "withdrawal" of those troops was so chaotic and unplanned? If the Indian response was anticipated...

Why should we attack Pakistan? Attacking Pakistan is the least of our concerns. We are more than happy with the status quo if your "moral support" to the "freedom fighters" ceases. Operation Parakram was never meant to go live.

You may like to go through this thread: http://www.defence.pk/forums/general-military-history/11832-kargil-debacle-lost-opportunity.html Kargil was a blunder; the people who planned it never took into account that India would actually react with a "heavy hand." The planners also...

I'm aware of that and (correct me if I'm wrong) the Dalai Lama has given adequate reasoning as to why he disaproves of that sect. He simply stated his opinion.

I must say I see more logic in your viewpoint. But I'll still maintain the party that is at a higher ground will seek more concessions on the negotiating table.

This is where the contention is; you believe that the JKLF is equivalent to (or no less than) a government or an army (correct me if I've understood you wrong). How is this so? I'm asking you to provide me an explanation for I thoroughly disagree with you. JKLF is a seperatist organization...

Care to provide me with instances as to where exactly has India meddled to an extent that you're implying? Hasn't Pakistan meddleds in India's affairs too? I don't mind this "meddling," per se, because it is carried out by every country against almost every one of its pseudo-hostile...

Such people as in? JKLF led a violent and "terrorising" campaign; it is only now that they have moderated. Don't compare the Indian Army to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (which by the way I've nothing against). Further, if I go by your logic, every army in the world is a terrorist...

"State terrorim in occupied Kashmir;" how many times am I suppose to state this: In a proxy-war, human rights violations will occur. Please stop exagerating facts to suit your agenda. Neither have I nor the IA denied that the conduct of some soldiers has been pathetic. The citizens...

Are you implying that the Indian Army is a terrorist organization?

Care to explain what is your intent with the above post?

How did China win the Korean War? The objective of the PLA was to dsestroy the US forces in the peninsula, which by the way did not happen. The PLA lost half of its gains later in the war. The Korean War was a stalemate. Nobody fears the rise of China; what we fear is your country's...

Couldn't agree more. I guess I initially mistook your intent. My apologies. Regards;

Fair enough. Thoroughly agreed. Again, thoroughly agreed. My contention is why is it that foreign intervention in this region, unlike many others, been so successful in ruining the society's fabric? Taliban did enjoy Pakistan's full-fledged support before 9/11. The civil war...

In both cases (Kashmir and Afghanistan), the "mess" has two reasons: domestic (internal socio-political condition) and foreign (lack of GoP's writ in some areas, and not just geographical, of Pakistan). Which of the two reasons is more important is highly subjective. I've maintained time...

Can you explain a bit more; further, who are these Indian friends?

Pakistan does not "control" the areas that we are discussing. NATO/Afghan forces will attack Taliban hide-outs in Pakistan while pursuing them and/or if PA is unable to mount an offensive against them. I doubt anything can be done in this regard.

Frankly, the title of the thread is very misleading. Karzai has stated that the Afghan Forces and or NATO would attack the Taliban in Pakistan. This is also subject to a pre-requisite that the Pakistani forces are unable to attack the Taliban in that area at that very moment. What the...

Anybody can make an allegation especially when so much is at stake. The elections since the mid-1990s have largely been free and fair. Why should we be the only one to go ahead with a plebiscite? Shouldn’t the elections be held in parts of Jammu & Kashmir under all the three state...
