#1 Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has said and continues to believe India called the Agra summit because of jehadi violence in Kashmir.

Like I said, the Indian government consistantly keeps rewarding terrorism, or at least gives the impression that terrorism works. The politicians are weak, when it comes to dealing with terror Vajpayee's resolve is as weak as his artificial knees. The only way to deal with this is like the US dealt with Iraq. They have to go for the source, I don't think the life of a single Indian soldier is worth losing to swat the Jihadi flies. They have to attack the camps in Pukistan.

#2 Both India and Pakistan use the terrorists as proxies against each other - it's a way to keep each other's armed forces occupied and not focused on the real problems between the two.

Also it's an excuse for both, kinda like my fat cousin who blames everything that's wrong in her life on the fact that she weighs 350lb+. Fact is, even if she lost weight, she'd still be a loser. If India & Pakistan both got rid of the terrorists, they'd have to face their REAL internal and external problems.
