Now that US strikes have begun, what is India's main concern?
But it has remained theoretical…
Has this changed after September 11?
Has this perception changed? Whither 'Phase II' of the war against terrorism? Is there going to be one?
But no assurances as yet?
Let me clarify this: you say this is your assessment and analysis based on the events which are unfolding rather than anybody having told the government something concrete?
What do they say to this?
(Interrupting) But what will happen is another matter?
Does 'Enduring Freedom' have a Phase II? Will the US also target terrorist camps in PoK subsequently?
But they don't say so officially...
America, Israel and India: that's said to be the targets for Islamic extremists. There is a growing feeling India may be attacked as it is seen as the softest target of the three. Is 'hot pursuit' an option?
In the end, it is going to be an Indian fight...
So you expect the direct fallout of this Phase I, once it is over, to be that the Americans will actually put pressure on Pakistan to stop sending people across the LoC?
But will Musharraf last?
Will India's 'proactive' policy in Kashmir continue?
Exactly. You have already tried a 'proactive' policy...
Is the threat of terrorists using 'biological, chemical and even nuclear weapons' real or just theoretical?
