WE HAVE LOST THE WAR !By: HEMU | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:59:06 PM Reply | Forward Only ISRAEL ,will take strong action against Pakistan. Because they have got the guts and strong will power. They care for their ordinary citizen's lives. To expect anything like that from our ,shameless, corrupt, powerhungry and CHAPRASIS of Italian madam is just a dream. We all Indians deserve to die oneday at the hands of terrorists !

Not a shrewd decisionBy: (Dr.) B.N. Anand | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:56:54 PM Reply | Forward Sir It was too early for our foreign minister to say so prematuredly. Our course wars are no solution, but at least some pressure could have been be brought upon our neighbour through some coercive diplomacy. It is much better to punish Pakistan through some economic measures and that could have been done when it had to mobilise its forces from one location to another out of fear of a possible war with India in response to another operation "Prakaram" from our side. Alternately, our country should have some assurances from the USA and other NATO countries to destroy the training camps of LeT and of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Jand K and other parts of Pakistan. Even after having borne the brunt of proxy war from Pakistan for so many years, our country has not played its diplomatic cards well. May be the govt. has some secret plans but only time will tell whether this decision was a shrewd or not.. For now and to a common man it looks like a premature decision.

Tackiling PakistanBy: Sridhar | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:56:01 PM Reply | Forward Why did Pakistan decide to withhold their ISI chief from visiting India? Because they knew that it was the ISI, without their government's knowledge, which trained these terorists. It is as simpel as that. The answer is not in all out war with Pakistan. The answer is in exposing the information given by the terrorists. This info must be made availble to each and every one in the country and to every ocountry in the world.

India says no military action against PakistanBy: satish singh | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:48:32 PM Reply | Forward I am sure if India today says that we will act militarily against Pakistan from tomorrow world will put the presure on Pakistan to dismantle the terrorist camps and from next time they will think twice before doing something like this.

Dirty politics killed out top officers...By: Nautankee | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:37:34 PM Reply | Forward Sir, there was intelegence report which states that the terrorist attacks were on the way, but the problem for the Indian commandoes was, that if they arrested anyone then the politicians use to give foul comments to the ATS chief and his staff. Now with these kinds of stupid leaders why wouldn't the terrorirst flourish? In the case of our hindu terrorists, Rajnath, Advani etc. wanted to narco test Hemant Karkare and his staff, now in such circumstances who would work with honest for India? Unluckliy, Hemant karkare´was murdered just the day after he recieved threats to his life.India and rest of the world must stand firm in their war against terror, but they must also get hold of Advani like politicians who interferred in the work of Anti Terrorist Squad. Instead of misuseing their time, he should have let them work in peace, and maybe the Mumbai blasts could have been avoided. By the way, wher is the teeth less tiger Balu? Still in hideing?

Who i sbehind these attacksBy: Ishtiaq | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:24:08 PM Reply | Forward The distance between Karachi and Mumbai is about 500Nmile. Traller carrying these these attacker must have taken 50 hrs to reach Mumbai as trailler can't move more than 10Nmile/hr. My question is what Indian Navey was doing in those 50 hrs. There are 21 Indian redars active in these indian waters. Were all redars were sleeping

Nothing will be done by political partiesBy: Vijay | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:14:42 PM Reply | Forward Dear brothers, this parties, Congress, NCP, BJP, or any will not do anything for us. It is the time to come

Terrorist AttacksBy: Lynette | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 15:12:46 PM Reply | Forward I wish to thank the people of India for doing all in their power to assist the foreign tourists that were the principal targets for these killers. It must not be forgotten that many Indians lost their lives also. The only way for India to adress these attacks is to join with the West in fighting the scourge of militant Islam. Co-operative intellligence is the key and taking intelligence seriously when it is given in the form of a warning. I have a Jewish friend who also wants to thank India's people - especially the Indian nanny who rescued the little two year old boy at the Jewish centre. We are hoping that she will be compensated for her bravery. Good luck - and God bless India.
