attack the @#$#@#$#By: tobi | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 10:17:48 AM Reply | Forward this always happens after any terror attack on india. politicians say "we will do this", "we will do that" etc etc. but all they really do is increase their own security cover and impose more taxes on people so they roll in more money. first of all, if the goddamn president has any backbone, she should declare emergency. and then declare total war on pak, america be damned. its high time we attack the source of this terror instead of just crapping our collective pants and mouthing cliched memoriam lines for martyrs. and yess, have all these ########### politicians EXECUTED by public mobs. that's the solution. maybe i appear too immature to a few people. if so you are welcome to correct me and initiate a debate. atleast it will get our countrymen thinking in this direction.

counter terrorism in indiaBy: soundara rajan | Friday , 5 Dec '08 9:56:42 AM Reply | Forward it is as ususal the authorities would have sent memos upto local SI to be on high alert and take all necessary steps to prevent terrorism and there ends the matter. But no one has got any clue how the terrorists are going to strike and what would be the contigency plan. Have politicians in the offices initiated any public compaign to make the people aware and what kind of steps they have to take if they suspect any suspiciouus activites. have they made any public compaign how they should react and be prepared for any sacrifice in the most dreadful situations i.e if the carrier is being taken over by the terrorists while on flight? how the security personnel are going to react in such eventuality? how the air force is going to react in such eventuality?. Are we prepared to sacrifice the people in such a flight to save our country from humiliation and huge loss like 9/11. worst come worst we should be mentally prepared to go to any extent to save our nation's prestige. Jai Hind.

India should declare warBy: Guru | Friday , 5 Dec '08 9:29:05 AM Reply | Forward India should declare war on Pakistan. I man not angry. The militery coup is in full swing in Pak, we should prove it and the pak will decend into dark ages like past few decades (rememeber the report saying Indian muslims are well off then their counter parts in Pakistan?). Very soon India will have last laughs, when pakistan deceds in to abbys and beg us to save her. Ofcurse we should send clear warning to US that we will not sit and watch if they pour militery aid to Pak. Let us encorage brilliant stretegic thinkers and do what US did to South America. Be stretegic and be patent, we will win.

we have heard these kind of boasting before!By: ram van | Friday , 5 Dec '08 4:52:33 AM Reply | Forward Ye right!We have heard these kind of boasting before!.When situation arises these guys cannot tie their shoe laces!. to quote a south indian saying "how the guy who cannot climb the roof and catch the hen- can climb the sky and reach paradise". Stop BS people and start really preparing!

terror attackBy: Hayagreev Das | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 22:12:06 PM Reply | Forward India has a big big huge weapon which is not used! If all Hindus do chanting of Gayatri mantra at 18:00 PM IST for just 5 minutes for a month, then see how things will change!

Wake Up.By: Rajeev Pant | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 21:18:54 PM Reply | Forward It is not the IAF etc who can do this ...it is only a deep philosophical understanding of the fact that India now is reaching a stage to create its own Slobodan Milosovic and Radovan Karadzic........that will stem this rot for ever.

Wake up and do nothing?By: Kunal | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 23:35:03 PM Reply | Forward Rajeev, are you suggesting we SHOULD do what Milosevic did to "stem this rot forever"? If so, please understand that ethnic cleansing never succeeds, no matter what it's objectives. It is a dastardly and cowardly idea, one which history has shown has taken the human race on the verge of extinction.Any person who kills any other in cold blood, no matter if his objective seemed to be useful to you, will not hesitate to kill you if you are in his "scheme of things". Look at Pakistan. Those terrorists who the government once sponsored are now turning on them, just because it is now in their way. We will do better without that double edged sword.

Good news from the Airforce CheifBy: Manish Joddar | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 19:17:39 PM Reply | Forward hope the terrorists fail...

response to terrorismBy: ramesh karnik | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 18:47:13 PM Reply | Forward Sentiments anguish of my countrymen understandable and appreciated.tell me how many young men women, brightest n brilliant, IIMs, IITs ready to join Military, Intelligence, Cammando? Bcause it is going to be a long fight may be our granchilren too need to join. Mere word n sentiments, candles n flowers doesnt mean much. It is action n sacrifice what our motherland needs. this is a call to our young men n women.

Treating Commandos!By: Balu Toronto | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 23:19:48 PM Reply | Forward Yes Ramesh you are 100% correct, but do Indian Govt treat commandos well?!!! While politicians have a convoy of 30 to 40 cars around him, commandos are made to travel by BEST bus to attend an ongoing terror attack! First our politicians security cover must be withdrawn 100%. Plough back the funds to protect public!
