Can anyone tell me in what war or battle where some civilian hasn't hurt or killed?
So lets leave if thats the reason to not fight any battles or wars. Cause war isn't healthy to any living thing!

But the truth is if we left the killings would go on........

India has been looking for a reason... any reason.

Power is the primary thing they pursue and when threatened resort to allying themselves with the most powerful people they can find. Pak. KNOWS that if they enter into open warfare with India, Pak. loses. Their only hope would be 4th Generation warfare - draining India of it's will to fight by the the very tactics that AQ has shown themselves to masters of. Bring India into the equation and you bring a threat to Pak. that they simply cannot and will not ignore.
It all comes down to the timing. If we can't get Pakistan to take care of business, then we need to align ourselves with India. We've already come too far to allow another unstable state.

I'm afraid things are starting to spiral out of control in the region. To many countries want to appease the terrorists instead of fight them in the hope that the terrorists will just stop the killing.

Force is the only thing these islamofacists understand. They are not going to go away anytime soon and they will not stop terrorizing whoever they see as standing in their way.

India wants no part of a fight in Pakistan. They would however, like Kasmir back under their control. Not to mention the large population of muslims in their own borders and the nuclear armed Pakistan army. Islam hates the Hindi as much as the West.
