I think you are beginning to understand that we live in a very different world from the one at 9/11 and even Mumbai - and I think it's just not the way to go, so to speak, for people to put so much on the line as it seems they do when they begin speaking of push and shove, and soft and hard options -- these are positions nuclear powers will not find themselves in if sobriety is in force, but of course Indian friends can believe whatever they find persuasive - The world is much bigger than just the US.
May I point out that India has no illusions that it is on the same plane as the U.S., we don't believe anything will happen on the Hafeez Saeed issue with Pakistan's help. That doesn't stop us from using the Hafeez Saeed stick to beat you chaps with. Pakistan pays a price whether it is noticed as a price being paid or not. Our aim is to continue to make Pakistan pay the price till it decided that the price to usefulness of Hafeez Saeed ratio becomes untenable. We don't imagine that you are about to surrender him to us, all we are seeking is that he be rendered ineffective. Until that happens, we won't move much on any thing that Pakistan may want which is not also to India's advantage.
