Musharraf, currently on a lecture tour of the United States, stated this while addressing students at Trinity University in San Antenio in Texas.

In his lecture, Musharraf also advocated far-reaching solutions to the issue of terrorism, including settling the Kashmir and Israel-Palestine problems.

He said that India as well as Pakistan and Afghanistan faced extremist troubles.

"We need to inject more forces. And may I say we have to defeat it (terrorism), whatever it costs," he told a near-capacity crowd at Trinity's Laurie Auditorium.

"So therefore, may I suggest to this august gathering, we have to accept casualties, ladies and gentlemen," he was quoted as saying by The Newsdaily.
