if the U.S. wishes to bolster its growing relationship with India and demonstrate its seriousness in combating the global jihadi menace, it needs to call Pakistan's bluff. Only sustained American pressure designed to induce Pakistan to dismantle what Indian security analysts refer to as "the infrastructure of terror" will produce the right outcome.Without this U.S. pressure, Pakistan and India will continue the same diplomatic dance that they've been doing for years, to little effect. The victims of the Mumbai bombings, and the city's terrified residents, deserve better. (via Pakistan Won't Cooperate with India - WSJ.com).
This is what is called analysis - when it comes to India. The closing argument is the 'victims (of another country) deserve better' is unlikely to make any Government in the world lift a finger. Such analysis is what creating environmental damage - trees are cut down, paper is made and such swill is printed.
The Indian Government must move - and prepare the world to move with it. India(ns) cannot depend on the goodwill of the Pakistani Government to take actions against the terrorists based on Pakistani soil. Or US pressure!
Real ideas, anyone?
