"airstrike can't end paki terror infrastructure"
@Bornubus I was saying the same thing yesterday but you seemed to be offended that we aren't doing airstrikes.
I think we need more comprehensive questions to arrive a the right conclusions, instead of looking at it as a regional problem. There's global geostrategic interests at play, so it's best to keep the discussion as broad as possible. 'How to solve the Pakistan problem' seems about right, because the 'Pakistan problem' is more than just about so-called fringe terrorists, it's about Pakistan's mainstream state policy against India and the international community's deliberate support to Pakistan to keep India off balance. All of these need to be considered.
There's news today that the 8 latest versions of F16s that Obama was going to sell Pakistan was stalled by US congress. Many of these elected congress members happen to have financial ties with Indian businesses and serve as a pro-India lobby within the US democratic setup. This is the kind of comprehensive deterrence that we need. If their president plans to make an anti-India move, we must have enough congressmen in our pockets to stall it. Israel does that fantastically. Otherwise we could make threads upon threads about possible Indian strikes inside Pakistan while USA continues to give more and more weapons. It will be of no use. We need to stem the rot where it comes from by 'grabbing the enemy by the belt'. Intermingle American interests with Indian interests, this will change their attitude towards Pakistan.
