Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist groups needs to be decimated.

Whatever it may take.

The attack on Indian democratic institution was cowardly, dastardly and condemnable. Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) want a clash in the sub-continent between Pakistan and India, they seemingly would get their wish and i think that probable may go out of control. India has a right to retaliate against the extremists, although I would prefer if cooler heads might distinguish between devastating strategies of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and present stance of Pakistani government. India has the capacity to dislodge present set-up through internal convulsions in 5 days but once these set of moderates disappear after that is deluge.

I will like India to evolve a strategy through which Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) may be decimated by Pakistani help through increased international pressures.

The possibility of US like action where Alqaeda and Talebin were dismantled without dismantling the moderates is the best course, but may be this is not what Indian strategists may like. I see a possibility of war in our region and Indians have a right, as I have said this kind of activity is not acceptable. The person responsible is maniac Azhar, others are as dangerous as Osama and Omar, and I pray that they may finally be confronted and pulverized. I hope India does it with best of her ability. My best wishes with India to strike at the head of this venomous attack.

I also hope that Pakistan may co-operate to the maximum to get to the criminals behind this attack, it is well known that Azhar and others have nothing but vicious propaganda to air. I do not think this is one off attack, this is much planned and it is aimed at destroying the détente and balance In the region, the repercussions of this act will be manifold. I think Mr. Vajpayee and Advani know that Musharaff did not condone it. The bodies responsible would have to be dismantled slowly and steadily.

A broad war in the region which is very much India's right at the moment, however that would be playing in the hands of the terrorists. With suicidal missions by Hamas, Al Qaeda and Jish, at three corners of the Islamic world, the intelligent strategy would be to cut of the heads without losing bridges. Someone needs to fill the vacuum created, India can flush out Pakistan militarily but what next, the ensuing vacuum will be threat to our region!! The best course is carrot and stick approach.

Selective targeting of terrorists is the answer, get them all but very intelligently. Like Osama is on the run we need to put these bastards on the run. Pakistani extremists are the weakest today, they should not be let free to engage in these nefarious activities. Come what it may be.
