What price is peace? Is the life of a fellow Indian something we should wish away gain the friendship of a rouge nation? Should we forget him becuase he is "just one of the many prisoners" in Pakistan's notorious prisons? One for all, all for one - till Indians value Indian life before anything else, no one else will value it more.
Bring Sarbjith Singh and all our brother Indians home. Let us talk peace then!
RE:Stand united - stop appeasement

Do you honestly think Pakistan will just let Sarabjit go if India applies pressure? Never. Pakistan will try to strike a deal. In the least Pakistan will keep claiming that it was lenient, it is humane, etc. to counter our claims of their terrorist support. Do we really want that?
If there is a way to have Sarabjit released without any accompanying tags, I'm all for it and I support your stand united-stop appeasement argument. But I doubt that will ever be the case. We have to weigh the pros with the cons. Releasing Maulana Masood during the IC-814 hijacking saved the lives of all passengers onboard that flight, but since then his terrorist organization has killed far more people in Kashmir than the number of passengers on that flight. So was that really standing united in the long term?
