Asked how terrorism might be counteracted, Frederick Forsyth says: 'The West can only form an "alliance of the civilized" and work on the five fronts on which all covert or "cold" wars are fought: diplomatic, financial, that of lethal action--and, most importantly, by using intelligence and psychological means, i.e. propaganda, persuasion, hearts and minds. You cannot defeat a modern, fanatical terrorist enemy without winning all five.' [Source: 'Note on Author' section in the book The Afghan]
I wish India be considered as part of the West. Or at least, if not the alliance, this is what India as alone should try to do with Pakistani terrorists. If we are already not doing this. I don't see anything being done in this direction by our Government or the Intelligence cadre.
