Radicals are the death of progress. Simply will not let India-Pak ever get along and attempt to head in the direction of establishing a healthy relationship. Never understand WHY. What do people gain from spewing cross-border hatred? Pakistan and Indian are both guilty of this and it's high time it stopped. Ridiculous. Show some love people.
