A challenge and opportunity to IndiaBy: Giri | Monday , 1 Dec '08 23:33:28 PM Reply | Forward A good analysis. This crisis is a challenge to the India as a whole and going to determine our future Indo-Pak relationship. The Pak army and ISI are not under the complete control of the Pak Prez, PM and the parliament and that is the biggest problem. I see the outrage felt by the Indian public and the Indian political leadership. The all party meet is a good start. I don't think a military response from India against Pak is the right one. If that happens then the terrorists have achieved their objective. We have to work with the Pak gov to shut down the terrorist cells and it is not an easy task. We will have to work with America to appropriately pressurize the Pak gov and in turn the Pak army and ISI. Let us interrogate and find as much as possible from the arrested terrorist abt the way the terrorist cell, ISI and army operates. And use that information with whichever Pak official is going to visit India. It is a challenge for all - India, Pak, US. India has to lead the effort

StratergyBy: Thammu | Monday , 1 Dec '08 18:56:49 PM Reply | Forward I can only think of three strategy, which can increase the cost to Pakistan military establishment.1. Control water in the Balighar and keep denying it2. Send troops to Afghanistan to support NATO.3. Blocade Karachi port

FOCUS on ISI By: Sunil | Monday , 1 Dec '08 13:27:46 PM Reply | Forward A good analysis.India should focus its attention on dismantling ISI - which is the actual governing body in Pakistan. This can and should be done while maintaining superficial diplomatic relations with the elected pseudo-government in Pakistan, based on art of war. It is very important to realise that tackling ISI is the only way to reduce threat perception for India. Indian government should provide ample funds for this and use international relations with countries like Israel and US while simultaneously use covert operation inside the enemy territory to cause maximum damage to ISI.
