AM,
Well, they did not infiltrate your border, did they?
Actually they do inflitrate the border, from Afghanistan, with some Pakistanis suggesting that the NA warlords in power in Afghanistan are allowing the Indian consulates to supply and support the Taliban and BLA.
So your argument does apply here.
My reference was specifically to 'random guys' (Geez... I liked that word) who cross the international borders with full gear & carry out well planned attacks in the neighboring countries. That implies that the security on your side either does not care or offers a tacit support. And either are not acceptable when it comes to Gen Musharraf's promises that Pakistan will not be used for terrorism against India. That is exactly what PM Singh told President Zardari some time back.
Controlling 'random guys' is essentially like controlling crime - even the US cannot get a handle on it, so what can Pakistan possibly do in terms of eliminating it 100% - that is an unrealistic demand, and regardless of what Indian lobbying in DC accomplishes or Singh blabbers about, it is not likely to be achieved.
Let me knwo when you can elminate 100% of the crime in India, and then you can ask for elimination of 100% of the crime in Pakistan.
Now we are back to the same age old debate. Nothing much to add here. But I just want to state that had terrorism been limited to Kashmir, you could have used the pretext of 'freedom struggle'. What do well planned attacks carried out by Pakistani nationals in other parts of India show? Regardless of the state support, your territory was used for planning. And that is exactly what the US clause says, doesn't it? Actually it is far worse. It uses the words like 'Pakistani military or its intelligence agency'. That equals to 'state support'. I just wanted to counter Asim Aquil's argument that Pakistan is not responsible for what its nationals do. Again, utterly unacceptable.
The debate is clear - India is in occupation of J&K by virtue of violating its commitment to implement the UNSC resolutions calling for the people of Kashmir to determine their destiny - as such the Kashmiris have the right to fight that occupation, and Pakistan to assist them, just as the Allies assisted rebels in nations occupied by the Nazis.
Unfortunately, one of the side effects of supporting rebel groups is that a lack of discipline and control over them means they can branch off into other avenues, which is what occurred with some of the Kashmiri groups, and what occurred with the Mukti Bahini, LTTE, BLA and Northern Alliance.
Of course the fact that Indian SF's carried out extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, torture and rape of innocent Kashmiris is also 'terrorism', is it not?
