As the times reports indicates,,, As the Pentagon has indicated,, Pakistan is a country that seems to be linked to so many terrorists activities. They all seem to be orginating from this same region.
From an indian point of veiw the war on terror was between islmic jehadis and the WEST.
india was minding its own business until 26/11
These terrorists have brought india into this equation.
And according to india & other western inteligence their are elements in the Pakistan military & ISI who are involved...
THEY ARE NOT NON STATE ACTORS..
Who cares what the Times report had indicated?
They most likely also backed up U.S. claims of WMD in Iraq and indicated that too right?
And the pentagon? Please verify your source.
As for the U.S., it has lost quite alot of credibility after Iraq, it was only a matter of time before Pakistan got its turn after Iraq and Afghanistan.
Your perception of Pakistan being some sort of safe haven for terrorists is actually completely wrong and based upon American claims and most likely western propaganda.
The truth lies much deeper and is rooted far and far away, it is partially because of Americas foreign policy and their support to these Jihadis in the past which has made them stronger but at the same time, also made them not too fond of the U.S. foreign policy in general.
Another thing is that Pakistan never really bothered trying to control the tribal areas as they weren't so troublesome as they are today, this is because Pakistan joined the U.S. in 2001 in their war against terror, which created bad blood among alot of these militants in the tribal area who then saw and still see Pakistan as a puppet of the U.S.
Anyhow, it doesn't matter what these militants think, they need to be taken care of, Pakistan has neglected it for way too long, and should root it out because these so called muslims bomb innocent Pakistanis but at the same time vow to protect them if war broke out between Pakistan and India.
Also, mind me if I correct you when you say that India was minding its own business untill the Mumbai attacks occured.
India has never minded its own business, please don't hide that fact.
If India did mind its own business, and i'm talking from a broader point of view, then Pakistan and India would be best friends.
Truth is, India cannot mind her own business because its agencies and "factions" as you name them originated from India, are also the cause for certain attacks inside Pakistan.
Please do not deny this fact, and also do not deny the fact that India has never been interfering with Pakistani policies.
Check for articles and findings in the PDF forums regarding Indias/RAW involvement inside Pakistan.
India was in the "equation" long before these attacks occured.
And once again, your claim is baseless as long as there is no concrete evidence.
According to this and according to that? We can go on for ages and talk like that, we need hard evidence.
The U.S. has already said it was highly unlikely that the ISI was involved in these attacks, so there goes your whole "western agencies" claim against Pakistan.
These people are non state actors untill proven otherwise, period.
Do not accuse Pakistan of something when your nation is equally guilty as Pakistan is in any case between both sides.
The problem regarding terrorism is much more widespread, and India is obligated to work with Pakistan to rid South Asia of this nasty plague.
