No Proof is enough proof

No proof is enough.. or so it seems. As of writing this blog, I was reading a newspaper report that the FBI is not being allowed to access Ajmal Kasab's village in Pakistan. The next obvious step, is denial of evidence given by India and the USA.  I wonder how many diplomatic offensives does India have in its arsenal after this?  stop water supply? get them to be branded as a terrorist state?  bleed them of their money?  So far these seem to be the options.  The other affected parties on 26/11 are the Americans, and the Israelis.  While its understandable, that America needs Pakistan for their war in Afghanistan, I wonder what is stopping Israel from sending their agents to punish the guilty, as they always seem to do.  Throwing bombs on Gaza and killing so many people seems to be justified as long as Palestine does not have the 'N-bomb'.  I wonder if thats the reason Israel hesitates to take the terrorists in Pakistan, out.  Come on Israel, Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism.  This international migraine does seem to have a nemesis and thats you.  Your people have also been killed by these terrorists.  Go on and show the world that you are really ruthless

War on Mumbai: Do not compare

War on Mumbai was a disaster waiting to happen.  Look at any news channel, and there are 'experts' giving their opinion.  Point taken my compatriots - but why do you compare India with USA?  These guys keep saying that there was only one 9/11 and after that there were no incidents inside mainland US. True..

USA is a developed country with systems and processes in place, which unfortunately India does not.  Albeit USA is much better than us, in terms of infrastructure, corruption etc.  US citizens are well aware of the fact that even their government cannot be declared efficient.

One of the best countries to handle terrorism is undoubtedly, Israel.  They are ruthless when it comes to dealing with them.  But my question is, did that stop terrorism?  Did that stop attack on their civilians?... maybe to some extent.  

Opposition parties in India are not of much help other than simply adding statements which suit them other than anyone else.

However, I feel some lessons have been learnt.  For instance, our people did not negotiate, and went ahead to smoke them out despite several foreign tourists being in these places.  media in Israel still believes that our response was slow and inefficient.  Compared to the Mossad? well...maybe...  They also offered their services, during this incident, but India like several other countries refused and moved ahead on its own.  With growing relations between Israel and India, I do believe this could be a point in the relationship wherein India could well learn to be a feared country than a soft target.  Also, we got to see our NSG commandoes in helicopters, rather than traveling by some van or truck which would eventually been struck in traffic... that would have been gut wrenching to say in the least.  

When are we going to have a separate department for riots? terrorist activity? and co- ordination with Intelligence?  Its high time the plain vanilla Home ministry was relieved of such demanding situations.  Internal security should be unique and distinct in a  way so that our Policemen do not get involved with the terrorists with just 'Lathis'.  The whole country's heart is going out to those policemen (one of the best in the department) simply becoming 'bakras' in front of the terrorists... All because we do not have a system in place.
