Should India take the same step as Israel?

Recently in some forums people asked this questions so many times that why India cannot take the same step as Israel takes against the extremist groups in middle est. The question is not "Should" India follow the path of Israel but the question "Can" India take the path of Israel. In my view India cannot take the steps which Israel is taking and the reason is well known to us. None of the Israel's enemy (Syria, Lebanon - Hezbollah, Iran etc) are as tactfully powerful as Israel. Israel can crush all its nebhour in any given day, because they have blanket support from USA.

On the other hand we have a nuclear powered neighbor who supports the terrorism. And if India takes the force as action it will be disastrous in long run. Because we cannot just attack on them and get away with that. There will be retaliation from Pakistan in the form of force and that will become a national agenda in Pakistan. We need intelligence power and that's the last option for country like India. We have seen the success of RAW in the past years, creation of Bangladesh, Operation Bluestar are some of them . But there were huge budget cuts for RAW in recent years.

We need to contain the terrorism and we need to isolate them. And the best thing is we should help Pakistani government to control the religious extremist in their own country. Diplomacy and Covert Action (here we can use the force) are the two best solution available. If you think we haven't got anything from that then I tell you if we have opted for the force we would have been in the for worst condition we are today.

Now here is my question if Israel had neighboring country like Pakistan, can dare to go bomb the country and come back?

I don't think so, Let me know what you think.
