People will vote when they have faith in the electoral process. If elections are rigged and politicians are feudal lords, everybody wants a Kalashnikov.

The IAF has one of the highest crash rates in the world. A co-pilot has been killed along with a rather expensive aircraft. If this isn't cause for shame then I don't know what is.

This is really unacceptable. Some heads should roll over this, and frankly this insane crash rate is making the IAF the laughing stock of airforces around the world.

That border is never going to see any stability until we have a stable Afghanistan and Pakistan either asserts its writ over the tribal areas fully or cedes them to Afghanistan.

The borders can be softened only if the insurgency ends. In any case, what is the advantage of soft borders? The only tangible advantage is trade, but with the completion of rail links, even that will be gone.

You're a nationalist, and therefore predisposed towards finding reasons for the existence of your country, even if there aren't any. Regarding the second para, I'll reserve my comments. I'd not like to speculate on such highly unpleasant matters.

I'd be shocked if you did acknowledge that splitting Pakistan made sense, even if there was a good argument for the same. So your assertion is of no value.

I'm getting increasingly suspicious that the PA waits for American money to arrive before taking actio The current assault came just as the US announced fresh monetary assistance.

Omar, you must be a genius to have figured out how the average Indians and Pakistani looks by living in the UK and the US!!

I have already answered your question Mr. Super Moderator. I'll repeat it for your benefit: Yes, when those insurgents are the lowliest bunch of fundamentalists, who, if given power, would bring the worst form of medeival ideology to the forefront.

Glad that's been clarified. If God Forbid, an attack happens on the symbols of my country's government, I shall know on which side of the fence you stand. Yes, when those insurgents are the lowliest bunch of fundamentalists, who, if given power, would bring the worst form of medeival...

I can argue my point very well Mr. Agnostic. But one can go on arguing against a terrorist who will always find ways to justify his thinking to himself, if not to anyone else. By your definition, Iraqi insurgents are "academically" justified to attack the Whitehouse and Pentagon because...

He's right. You'd better boycott all Israeli-made products, which would also include significant components within your own defence systems. That would be the true, untainted, moral stand.

Guess which country also buys weapons from Israel? Your own beloved China. The sheer vacuous pontification and the hypocrisy is so damned ridiculous.

What about the attack on the Pentagon? The military headquarters of the US? Wasn't that justified? Or the attempted attack on the Whitehouse? forgotten those? Wouldn't that be justified since the President of USA which supported the "evil terrorist state of Israel which has killed thousands of...

Indian army has faced a potential Bajaur or Swat-like situation for the last couple of decades. The only differences between Bajaur and Kashmir is that in Kashmir there was a hostile army to train, equip and help the terrorists cross over. The reason that the situation never went out of hand...

Indian parliament was a legitimate target eh? I guess even the WTC was legitimate target considering that the US was "killing muslims and raping their women", and "occupying muslim lands". What a disgusting post this is. You are justifying some cowardly attempt to attack the elected...

Precisely. The Indian federation is the solution to these potential ethnic and political clashes. It has brought peace to a region which otherwise could have had a dozen different armies fighting over peanuts. The Europeans took a while to realize this, and WWII was the great shock which...

Another red herring. How many of those actually enjoy some degree of popular support? Probably a handful. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Anyone can start his own 'movement' for his own 'xyzstan' by opening an office and hiring a few gunmen. India doesn't HAVE a dominant ethnic...
