India should act firmly (read militarily) if Pakistan is to be taken over by Taliban and they trade their guns against India.
Let me start this particular piece of write up with a confession - I have never been so afriad/larmaed in my entire life as for the past 3 or so days. Taliban almost having full control over SWAT province is so bad for us Indians. Yes it is true SWAT province is some 180 odd kms from the capital Islamabad (I think Surya pet is around 140 kms from Hyderabad and it is less distant than Vijayawada-Hyderabad). We should be very clear if at all Taliban does eventually take over Pakistan and they think to spread their ideologies across the borders into India and spread there sphere of influence then our goverment should be unequivocal in its approach to militarily and diplomatically (in its strictest sense) decimate them. We have taken this sentiment of being a peace loving nation far too much and sometimes offence is indeed the ebst form of defense. For some thing like Taliban or the Al Qaeda to come to our borders and try to exert their militray power should never be combatted by dialogue. it has to be dealt with our might and should teach them a lesson. We need to be the aggressor. I am really tensed and worried by this incident. Werae indeed a secular and peace loving nation and doing well as a nation. This is the last thing that all of us need in our doorsteps. I am atleast expecting our political heirarchy to be very vigilant to the activities happening in our immediate neighbours placvea nd not be lost in election hysteria. May be it is our first real test after a long long time and it has to be dealt in a very firm manner. Also we should not be listening to anyone else and do not need their advice. it is our problem and we will ahve to solve it.
