A "limited war" may make sense were one an Israeli facing paramilitary units and ill trained Arabs - in the Pakistan-India context, it's just plain stupid - neither the Indian is any kind of Israeli in training or equipment, nor the Pakistani any kind of Arab militia - the reality of both is nuclear weapons, the Indian says he'll start it, the Pakistani response is that he'll finish it.
Some Indians respond to this as "manly valor", we may be grateful that thus far Indian expression of this valor are confined to verbal expression.
With regard to cold start and limited war, it is akin to coming to a gun fight equipped with a knife, it's just plain stupid.
Alibaz:
Media may offer hysterical scenarios in India - lets look at the behaviour - they were on the border for a year without moving so much as an inch into Pakistani territory - does that suggest to you that they have lost their minds or that they do not take what they have been told seriously?
The message to them is clear, You may start it, but we'll finish it.
