12,000 troops sent at request of NWFP govt to check militants

Re: 12,000 troops sent at request of NWFP govt to check militants

Well, two points...
1. Sufi Kashmiris were the initial source of the militancy...
2. India had only Kashmir to worry about, while Pakistan has to deal with it across the country... This has the potential to turn into a far bigger conflict.
