Jana, Baazi and others,
Insurgency, as you will soon realise, is not a magic wand that can vanish overnight. It continues for a very long time and those who are not ready to accept this axiomatic fact are fooling themselves.
Insurgency will continue in India and I am sure, while efforts are and will be done to control it, everyone is also sure that it will not vanish just because one wants to forget it as a bad dream.
I did not want to write anything on all this since you and some are blinded by false patriotism. It is good to be patriotic and no one can say it is incorrect. But it is fatuous to be blind of the reality.
In your opinion, you feel that a Division (three brigades) is not much. It indicates how much you understand about the Army. Therefore, for me to debate with someone who has no idea of the basics would be totally stupid as it would to teach mentally challenged the 3 R's, even though one could say, one should not give up trying to help the disadvantaged.
A responsible journalist researches before writing, but this proves that journalism has become an on the fly and off the cuff hobby.
You have no idea of insurgency or how to tackle it, but you are quick on comments.
If suicides, fragging, and because things have become a headache are reasons to give up the ship, then I am afraid, Musharraf would have surrendered to the world opinion and India given up everything that India stands for! But Generals (like Musharraf) and Indian Army are made of sterner stuff than what you all wish it should be, so as to please your agendas.
In fact, to feel that one should run away from problems is the solution to life, is the most childish thought that one could harbour.
It is only the weak minded soul who feel that because of suicides one should quit fighting insurgency.
Just because two companies of the Pakistan military surrendered to the Taliban without even firing a shot, are you suggesting that Pakistan should hand over NWFP to the Taliban? Would that be the logic that you all wish your govt to follow?
Just because in Swat Valley one fool of a Mullah is holding it to ransom, does it mean that Pakistan loses heart and gives in to the Mullah?
And to imagine that unlike Kashmir, where the remnants of the Afghani war is active, in Pakistan, it is fellow Moslems who are fighting Pakistan. What could be worse wherein Islam fights Islam and you talk about Kashmir!
Just think it over and interpolate and you will have the answer.
Unlike you, who is filled with the irrational venom left behind by history, I wish Pakistan well and I do hope that its problems are solved sooner than later and stability and peace returns.
