At this point in time, India’s choices are:

* to attack the Moslem terrorists inside Pakistan

or

* to let Pakistan’s Government continue to attack the Moslem terrorists inside Pakistan.

The second choice is better, even though it involves much dissatisfaction, suspicion, impatience, controversy and aggravation.

The modernization of Pakistan will require several decades. The suppression of Pakistan’s terrorist groups so that the number of terrorist attacks falls dramatically might take only a year or so. Egypt and Iraq are examples of Moslem countries where such suppressions succeeded so quickly.
