Looks like more peace-loving Muslims.
"Religion of peace"?
I don't think so.

Not necessarily talking about India, but wow long will it take for certain countries to fully crack down on terror.
How much can we look forward to, when political and religious leaders condemn terrorist acts in public, but on the other hand might sympathize the actions or even support them.
Countries in which proper education, womens rights etc. are disregarded and the people who do not know of any better, can easily be brainwashed into believing that all westeners are Infidels.
I have no issues with anyone's race, creed or religion, but it is damn hard to have hopeful feelings towards certain corners of the world when you get this s*it frequently.
I am sick and tired of this BS.

I don't care what anybody says: the fight against global terrorism is a World War.

The news services in the states and abroad are reporting that things have escalated. It's my sincere hope that any of our warriors who maybe in that AO return home safely and uninjured to their families.

But how?
A concerted effort to revise fundamental cultural elements among a billion or so people? Generational warfare? And - are we ready for the cost in treasure and blood?
Please understand that I am not in disagreement with your position. Nor am I finding fault with any of the current efforts. But I do wonder if we have the collective will to pursue what seems to be a long and difficult path.

Here's a piece from Stratfor. They suggest that India, along with the U.S., will apply considerable pressure to Pakistan. And this could destabilize Pakistan.

Accountability?
Just curious if anyone in the Army had to do a recall/accountability for themselves and DEERs dependants? HQ Air Force directed accountability to be done to make sure none of our folks were in the affected area.

Just wondering, since there are hostages taken; does Indian police or military have a hostage rescue capability?

Sure, here is one of them using a discriminating firing technique.
No wonder hostages were lost.
