Are we on the brink of war?

I dont believe this. I cant believe that Governments on both sides of the border between India and Pakistan can let the peace process be sabotaged so easily. BUt then I would be living in afool's paradise. I have been hearing fighter jets flying low over Islamabad today. News channels have been on that speak of firing at the Chamb sector between Indian and Pakistani forces. Harsh comments, statements, fury, anger but few voices of peace and many from them have been coming from pakistan only. Bharat Verma, an Indian security analyst, was vehemently advocating an Indian attack on Pakistan. These people forget that Pakistani audiences are fuelled after hearing these remarks and stop deliberating on the causes. But is it fair that INdia threatens Pakistan for an attack that ,even if India's version is accepted, was perpetrated by non-state Pakistani actors? An attack on pakistan will kill ordinary citizens who cannot defend themselves.

I feel sad today because people on both sides of the border will be the losers, if, God forbid, war comes to our land. We are angry at the American drone attacks and will be absolutely violent if any Indian attack occurs. But I think sense will prevail in the end?

P.S
I was just wondering whether Pakistani channels are also seen in India? and how much they know about us?
