Pakistan was in the midst of terrible economic crisis when the terrorists attacked Mumbai on the dark night of 26th November. Now, coincidentally it was the same day it received the IMF fund, which was a bailout for this economically failing state. However, it needs more funds to keep it running.
India has progressed a lot in the last decade. Its global clout has strengthend. It established many important contacts in organizations around the world. This clout needs to be used to squeeze aid meant for Pakistan unless they keep elimianting terrorists and their infrastructure. This is a historical chance. A golden opportunity of sorts. If we do not nail them down now, we will regret forever.
Surgical strikes also should be in store. If nothing else works in the next 45 days, then strike Pakistan where it hurts. A common fear is a full fledged nuclear war. However, if we put ourselves in Pakistan's shoes, war seems like an unlikely option. They are crumbling economically. Any war means certain death for them. Taliban has gained stronghold in NWFP. If Pak army moves away from there, these guys are ready to enter Eastern Punjab. Kashmiri terror groups are already supporting, they will help them takeover parts of POK too. PAK army knows this very well. They know they need to finish these elements from SWAT valley else, Islamabad might fall.
They cannot afford war now. Neither can US or EU. Their troops depend on PAK army on the eatern border. Lets tell the West that if they want to prevent a conflict and protect their troops, India will have to be rewarded. No compromises.
