While I support tough action, I hope the government also focuses on long-term solutions to prevent radicalization. Military response alone won't solve this complex issue.

The Indus Water Treaty move is bold! Pakistan needs to understand there are consequences for supporting terrorism. Economic pressure works.

I appreciate the government's firm stance, but I hope they'll also share more details about security lapses that allowed this attack to happen. Prevention is as important as response.
