As the Mumbai attack five years ago and the recent LoC incidents have shown, the gap between Pakistan’s official statements and its military’s actions suggests that the civilian government, even if sincere, is too weak to control its own security apparatus. So long as Pakistan’s government remains either unable or unwilling to push back against the so-called “non-state actors” that are said to be out of its control, why should India pursue the dialogue that it called off in 2008?
印度政府与巴基斯坦和谈其实是在孤注一掷。五年前的孟买袭击事件和近期控制线事件已经表明，就算巴文官政府真心实意，但官方声明和军事行动之间的差距表明巴文官政府势力太弱，无法控制国内的安全机器。只要巴政府仍然不能或不愿与其控制之外的所谓“非国家势力”对抗，印度有什么理由继续2008年被取消的对话？
