 File under: Govt of Pakistan 

#1 "The possibilities are several, but also rather straightforward. 1) The chaps who hopped across the border did it on their own. Mad men, angry and feeling betrayed. Wanting to let the world know they weren't going to get away with this fake peace business.

Or 2) they had help -- someone, somewhere in the state apparatus either helped them or looked the other way while they went about their business. A rogue, ideological operation -- Modi is a thug and Kashmire will never be forgotten.

Or 3) it was authorised directly. The damn civilians are up to their tricks again and they need to be put back in their place. Hence an attack on a hard target; hit something soft and there may be all kinds of backlash everywhere.

But those possibilities also don't really matter. It could be any of them and it still wouldn't address the original problem: what do you do about the anti-India lot running around the country?"


I'm with #3

#2 I was kinda hoping the Indian response would have been a missile into an office building in downtown Karachi.

#3 India knows that it can't win a war with Pakistan. Would you want to occupy Pakistan even if you could? Nukes also discourage things. India needs a way to make Pakistan pay a price for these kinds of things. A missile at the ISA office that oked the attack might be one way. Good idea.
