The right decision

Sir, - The Army has done the right thing by shelling Pakistani posts. India should expose Pakistan's double standards and we should find our own solutions to fighting terrorism in Kashmir. The U.S. has its own priorities, and the lives of our people are as important to us as the lives of Americans are to the U.S.

Sir, - India could be justified in retaliating against the terrorist acts in Jammu and Kashmir by attacking militant bases of the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and other groups operating from Pakistan. We have been patiently waiting for years and now things could be sorted out in such a way that the retaliation, if aimed, would in no way be questioned by the Pakistan President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, or any other country.

As the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Dr. Farooq Abdullah, pointed out, we have to face the challenge ourselves and formulate the retaliation measures without further loss of time.
