It's very difficult to understand the Indian defence of their intelligence services on this thread. Not a single reasonable statement other than "we're not involved" or "you started it". It seems to be based on blind trust more than anything rational. I mean, what makes you so confident that Indian intelligence agencies are not involved? They have every reason to be involved, and would consider it their natural born right to be involved. Then why wouldn't they?
I mean, we provide the world with confessions by those who targeted and killed Pakistani civilians, and you still deny it. Why defend something so passionately without a single piece of evidence or morsel of reason to the contrary? Because the Americans don't acknowledge it? Give me a break, since when did the Americans become the gold-standard in neutrality and honesty? Also, since when did the Indians care what the Americans said?
And it is just sad to read posts from those who believe that Pakistan's involvement in Kashmir is reason enough to justify Indian support of terrorism in Pakistan. I mean, there is no point even trying to mention that our involvement in Kashmir is to support a majority based separatist movement, whereas you're supporting pure terrorism and the murder of civilians. But then again, why are we even talking of this? Don't many Indians consider themselves morally superior to us Pakistanis? I mean, if I had a nickel for every Indian who claimed that they're more successful as a nation because they are just better human beings, I'd be substantially rich. Then why, all of a sudden, stoop to the level of us lowly Pakistanis?
It is infantile to believe the Indian intelligence services would let an opportunity like this pass by, in the name of peace. I will not say that they provided weapons, as I have no evidence of that other than the confessions, but at the very least, there is the possibility that precious intelligence would have been shared with them. What would be even more infantile is for the ISI/Pak Army to presume the Indians would stop simply because we protest. We need to develop a counter, something that makes it impossible for them to operate inside Pakistan, and launch a counter offensive elsewhere if required. We created this beast, we tamed it, and by God we can hunt with it.
