Your assumption is that you are dealing with logical people who will stop once they have their wants fulfilled. I would love the said de-escalation to happen, guns and bombs are a waste of time, money and lives. Except, it just won't happen. There are large bodies of people on both sides of the border who are interested in keeping the feud going, with our without Kashmir. This is an ideological war we find ourselves in, there is sadly no room for logic. We didn't ask to be in it, but I don't see a way out. Do you? Cheeni
