It is very convenient to assume that India shall use force against terrorists just as Israel is doing, hoping that it will get support from the international community, and most importantly from USA. But for this to happen we have to be speaking in one political voice since it calls for decisive action assuming that a full-fledged war( including a nuclear one ) would become inevitable. Are the people of this country one in arriving at this decision? This will mean all people forget internal differences esp. religious,caste-based etc, insurgencies are under control of the police so that the para-militaries are spared to perform duties at border, etc,etc. Pakistan's importance to USA will never be over,even if it meets its own end vis-a-vis terrorism because of the larger central asian game plan in the wake of resurgent Russia. China has always been a sworn supporter of Pakistan. Nepal and Bangladesh also don't have soft corner for our problems. So, are we politically and diplomatically strong enough to root out terrorism from the Pakistani soil cionsidering that a full-fledged war between the two will become inevitable.
The answer in short is: 'BE INTERNALLY STRONG FIRST'
