This article tries to claim that the U.S. is taking the right path by creating an offensive. He then tries to compare this with India's lack of aggressiveness. However, this is a really poor comparison. The U.S. invaded a very weak nation, Afghanistan. Pakistan, on the other hand, is one of the world's 8 or 9 nuclear powers. There is a stark difference here.
Take this into consideration with the fact that Osama bin Laden is more than likely hiding somewhere in Balochistan or NWF, where the Taliban remnants have come into power. Pakistan will not allow U.S. forces to enter the country to search for bin Laden in these areas, and the U.S. hardly says anything. If the "world's remaining superpower" is not going to do anything about it, what makes you think India will?

Yes this may be a fasls analogy but dont you think this is one of the viable solution to end terrorism. EVen by remianing patient, people are being killed.Then its better we are killed by retaliting.Atleast that would deter terrorists from striking.As these terrorists know that when India rises to the occasion,they will bite the dust.
