Of course it’s an option, when the alternative is a potential nuclear holocaust. I’m not denying that Pakistan makes for a miserable neighbor, just that limited engagements with limited casualties are preferable to risking nuclear war.

This was the embodiment of what you call a "limited engagement with limited causalities". The target area was away from civilian population, in a remote area where terrorist outposts had been identified. The flight time was under 30mins. There has been no reports of civilian casualties thus far.

There has been limited engagement for last 70+ years with no result.
As Einstein said, lunacy is doing the same thing again and again and expect a different result.

Was Mr Einstein qualified to comment in international affairs?
Anyway, that expression is misattributed:

He said a lot of things, including some piercing observations about the folly of nuclear war. I think he’d also be amused at the notion of a stable and predictable equilibrium resulting from a dynamic system of humans in conflict.

You don't teach us about restraint.
They don't let us live in peace. They try to attack us everyday. They wage a proxy war against us.
We are seriously re-thinking if their nuclear weapons should be taken into account anymore.
