A war of attrition leading to inanition of Pakis India should not engage Pakistan in a hot war. Just keep on applying a continuous low pressure military strikes across the border and conduct exercises of harassment with the intent of depleting their national will and treasury and curing them of Kashmir mania. This should go on for years. The Indians should not provoke the nuclear-armed nincompoops any more than necessary to keep the low-level fighting go on, on a continuous basis. The Indians should not bring to surface the rash stupidity of the pakis for the morons don't even know that an Indian retaliation will destroy the country once for all. Containing cross-border terrorism is more important than destroying pakistan (not the intent of Indians) or inflicting any harm to the pakis, for the nuclear fallout will affect the entire South Asia and the region; destruction of pakistan, though they have suicidal thoughts and tendencies, is not in India's interest. They have this aberration: pointless martyrdom, self-flagellation, terrorism, hatred of the infidels, jealousy of the Hindu India and the West. Desperate nation will do desperate acts: pakistan is a prime example. Why should we lose thousands or millions of Indians (or cause death of the wretched pakis) just because the pakis have a suicidal thoughts? Just stay on the Indian side of LOC and engage the enemy in a low-level fighting. Let this war go on for a hundred years for the nuclear alternative is far worse.

From Dawn to Dusk to Dust - The paki fate The Dunce at the Paki helm The dolt has no volt in his brain --Brain-dead. Is the colt ready for a volte-face? Dawn Opinion Page Nuclear war: an insane option By Zubeida Mustafa Moreover, Pakistan with its smaller size and lack of territorial depth will be the one to suffer greater devastation even if it resorts to a first strike - which it might be tempted to do as a pre-emptive move. …it appears that Pakistan was actually preparing to use its nuclear missiles in the Kargil war in 1999 when India threatened, out of sheer desperation, to broaden the theatre of the conflict. We have attempted to bargain as though we hold the high ground - when we don't militarily, politically or economically. We have a strong moral case in Kashmir no doubt, but by now we should know that morality without tangible strength on the ground takes one nowhere. Chaghai only made us bolder and more reckless. A number of opportunities came for a peaceful resolution of the crisis in the region. There was Mr Vajpayee's famous bus journey to Lahore in February, 1999. There was the cease-fire in the Kashmir valley in 2000 and the summit at Agra. But at no stage did the government attempt to address <v>the root cause of the immediate crisis, namely, the militants who reportedly infiltrate into the valley to cause violence there. Their action has all along had the potential of becoming a casus belli and yet we did not try to hold them back. Lighting the nuclear fire By Pervez Hoodbhoy Even more important than the fate of a few million Kashmiris is that of India's huge Muslim minority, which equals or exceeds the population of Pakistan. Without Pakistan's decisive action on cross-border insurgency, the Muslims of India will become the target of state-sponsored pogroms and ethnic cleansing. The massacres in Gujarat provide a chilling preview of what may lie ahead at the hands of a fundamentalist Hindu government. Many observers have noted that the Srinagar, Delhi, and Jammu attacks on Indian civilians coincided with the visits of high officials from western countries. Could the forthcoming visit by Richard Armitage provide a trigger for the next atrocity and a nuclear war?
