Opinion - Letters to the Editor

Right perspective

Sir, — Your Editorial, "War is no option" (May 22) has put the issue in the correct perspective.

To solve the issue of terrorism by force, we should be able to defeat the enemy decisively, destroy its terrorist camps and hideouts, redraw the International Boundary to prevent the terrorists from regrouping and maintain the military superiority all the time.

In the present context, this is not possible as the world community, including the U.S., will interfere at the first break of hostilities between India and Pakistan and the war will not reach a decisive end.

Israel, which has not been able to stop the terrorist menace with savage reprisals, is an apt example.

M. K. B. Nambiar,

Mahe
