No need to fight, just build a fence.

After the recent killing and beheading of an Indian soldier by the Pakistani soldiers in Kashmir our ministers rushed out to assure Pakistan that there would be no retaliation. Our Minister for External Affairs was instantly on air saying that there will be no " escalation ". " We're not going to be pressurized by wild calls for revenge and reaction. We will do what is in the best interest of the country and peace, keeping in mind that there is a lot at stake," he said. Why? Why do we have to maintain peace at any price while the mad dogs across the border continue to kill our citizens? In response the Pakistani Foreign Minister, Hina Rabbani Khar said that India is guilty of " warmongering ". " It is deeply disturbing to hear statements which are upping the ante, where one politician is competing with the other to give more hostile statements." she said. She then goes on to taunt India by advising dialogue and saying that " we need to become mature countries which know how to handle the truth." What makes the Pakistanis so confident and why are we so terrified of them? Is it because there are Chinese soldiers in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir? Tiny countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Philippines have recently stood up to China's bullying and threats. China responded by cutting trade with Japan and Philippines and reducing numbers of tourists but these countries are standing firm. Is it because of Pakistani nuclear weapons? We should arm our missiles with nuclear warheads and clearly inform them that they will be targeted on Islamabad where the government is based, Rawalpindi where the army headquarters are and on areas where terrorists are concentrated. Mad dogs they maybe but they are not stupid. Once they know that we will extract a very heavy price they will cool down. Are we afraid of the US? If we are reducing our import of oil from Iran because the US wants to protect Israel why do we not ask them to stop helping Pakistan? Why was the agreement at Sharm el Sheikh hidden from the National Security Adviser, MK Narayanan, " who went ashen when he read the contents a little before it was released to the media"? TOI, 13 January. We spend trillions of rupees on a million man army, fighter aircraft and weapons and then ask our soldiers not to defend themselves. There is no glory in being slaughtered like sacrificial lambs by a government of traitors. Yet there is no need to fight. Build a fence all along the border, lay land mines along the fence so that not even a mouse can cross over and shoot at anything that tries to get across. We will have peace without wasting money or the lives of our precious soldiers. No doubt on 26 January there will be a march past in Delhi when soldiers will have to salute the same traitors. While we burn with anger and humiliation.
