Public Platform: Speak up openly

If USA and Bush had bombed and destroyed the ghost country Pakistan along with its brutal terror cult and ideology promising heaven with 72 virgins and lot of wine for killing infidels kafirs like hindus,sikhs, buddhists,jains,jews, christians,etc,the world would have been now a much more peaceful place.Hope Bush does the demolition of that terror state before leaving office.Whether Barak Hussein Obama, the next president will even think of doing such a demolition of the terror state is uncertain, but who knows public pressure in USA may make him take that option to save USA and rest of the world from jehadi cult terror.Now that Obama's advisor says pakistan is the most dangerous country, it is duty of Obama and USA to demolish Pakistan and save USA and world from jehadi cult terror.If USA does not do it soon, they may have to regret later for the inaction.

It is high time india attacks Pakistan and brings back PoK within J&K state. It is PoK which is used as launchpad for training. Manmohan has no business to stay in power. Merely saying sorry does not help. Attack Pak, gain PoK and let non kashmiris settle in kashmir. This is the ONLY solution.

As a U.S. citizen of Indian ethnicity, I could not agree more, particularly the last line of your article. It is U.S. whose feet have to held to the fire because the Bush Administration has totally failed to contain terrorism in the world except in the USA. I do not think they care for lives lost other than Americans and the Pakistanis have duped them for 12 Billion dollars and they shamelessly still try to protect them. The USA's " double " role must be exposed in the U.N. ( China is another conniving partner ) and India must also " punish " the USA by not giving any nuclear contracts to U.S. companies but to Russia and FRance. Let them know that you can speak from both sides of your mouth too long till you are exposed. My question is - What are the Israelis doing ? At least you can depend on them for some covert action.

Absolutely, when the next terror attack is directed at USA or US interests, it is more likely to be done by a non-paki because they the ISI will brainwash a non-paki muslim to do it. Even if the mastermind is from Pakistan, then the stupid president would say that the mastermind is from Waziristan and it is lawless, the US government will then not be able to pin the blame on Pakistan. There is no value to Indian lives, there is only value to western lives in western countries. Indians are helpless; the only hope for ordinary Indians is that the next attack is outside India. What will happen is it will divert the attention of the international away from Mumbai and this episode will be consigned to history books. It does not need might, sophistication or money - it needs guile and deception and few hundred thousand dollars and a dozen terrorists to bring Mumbai to a standstill – because the politicians don’t care, are gutless and are completely outfoxed. Probably there would have be

The first duty of Indian govt is to serve its Hindu majority, which is to hunt down the terror camps in Pakistan and detroy them - India shoul not lsiten to this pre-staged script that Condoleeza rice enacts - what a shame - US has no interest in India's security - Manmohan Singh, Congress and Soni are surprisingly dodging the real issue at hand - why? why do we need to go to UN - just banning the outfits is not the answer - what is Congress party's agenda besides promoting Muslims and chritians interests - when will Hindus matter to secular India Pakistan is a proven terrorist nation - why cannot we take action againts the culprits

How about this for a solution to suicide bombers? Just have a changing of religion ceremony before they are cremated or buried. For instance, if an islamic terrorist, then cremate him/her with poster facing somewhere else, not mecca.

India should authorize "non-state actors" worldwide to eliminate those so called "non-state actors" that are responsible for terrorist acts in India. I don't think Indian government has the guts to make it official policy, but then they don't have conform or deny existence of such policy. Those who play with fire should know it could and it would cost them their lives.

I think the way moderate muslims are fighting extremist in there own country. India needs to hunt down its own RSS and BJP and punish them for igniting communal hatred. World needs to be free of all extremist muslim, hindu, jews or christian. If extremist trigger war between India and pakistan. It will be nuclear war and both countries to go back to 1940s or perhaps totally destroyed. Muslims still have another 49 nations but Hindus and Jews have only one nation and should be careful. If Pakistan is wipped they still have Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Iran etc If India is destroyed by nuclear bomb Hindus are left with nothing. India is playing in games with Israel which means it will face wrath or 1.6 billions muslims worldwide. If India deals with Israel all Muslim countries should boycot Made in India products and stop selling oil to them. They should perhaps promote business with china.

Muslims were decent people in Asia before the advent of Islam. Maybe they should try to convert back to hinduism! If they trace back their family trees a few hundred years, there is 99% likelihood that their forefathers and foremothers converted under duress i.e. threat of rape, amputation and/or murder! We should feel sorry for these poor miserable wretched people.! Their women ancestons were beaten, raped sodomized and forefathers were sodomized into submission and that is why they are muslim today. All muslims should make a trip to India and have a purification ceremony performed on them and they would be gladly welcomed back into hindu fold!

We must become like the Israelis. I completely endorse what Kalyanakrishnan says. We must also have compulsory military service and elect only those who serves in the Armed Forces to political positions. Remember great Israelis like Moshe Dayan, Yithzak Rabin, Ariel Sharon, Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak, Ezer Weizmann all emerged from their Armed Forces

I am beginning to feel only an Isreali type of response to terrorism will be anything worthwhile for any government. Otherwise while apparently wiping our tears these pseudo peace lovers would only be having a hearty laugh inwardly over our inaction. Dear S.G.! Your article clearly brings out the ulterior motives of the vested interests in making the chosen statements for the media.

Guru ! All these days we were under the impression that your analysis inciscive, thought provoking and balanced. This time you failed to rise to the occasion. Why Ms. Rice, of all the persons, come running to assuage the feelings of agitated Indians over terror issue unless there was an American Interest. There were a few high ranking Americans among the victims. There are political compulsions about Packis which she can not ignore. We can only blame ourselves for the slave mentality and meek personalities of the rulers like our PM, our HM and FM. They can only roare and never bite. All along, the UPA chair person must be calculating how much of political meleage and financial benefits that she must be acrueing from this sordid episode. Bharath Mata Ki Jai !!!

Had the terrorists confined their attacks to CST station without touching the Hotels of the VVIPs, this much coverage and visits of US and officials from other countries would not have taken place but for the routine "brave statements" from PM with Chidambaram continuing as FM . A party which is forming a minority Government in Rajasthan took three days to finalise a CM's candidature. Here is a Government which refuse to arrest even the culprits responsible for the killing of the swamiji in Oissa even after 4 months of his killing due to the blackmail resorted to bythe secular priests, international religious leaders and US Government 's devotees who receive crores of foreign funds for conversions.The PM is also not in a position to accede to th demand of Rahul Gandhi for giving justice to the riot victims of the anti-sikh riots of 1984.despite the media deliberately ignoring orsuppressing the truth that the culprits andthose shielding the culprits belong to the Congress party only.

Oh that beef eating half muslim Iyengar is at it again. Most of these born and bred on that "Hindu" (have been proabaly commissioned by Ram to always spew some inane stuff whenever Gurumurthy writes)which has become a hotbed of commies of late just what they are best at vomit what others have already written. Poor atmas they the ones that can't differentiate between black and white can hardly be expected to read between the lines. They can't even seem to get the underlying tone. while Pakistan has to be annihilated one should not forget the frankenstein was created by competing christain fanatics of Westminister Abbey so as to get it back at Hindus who fought for freedom.. The US's tilt always to Pakistan is the proof. Please remember while Muslims are our open enemies. Christians are like white ants they eat thru the structure before you even notice them.

Pl study the history of US. No war has been fought in their country for more than 100 years.They were shaken up by the 9/11 attack.They thought they were impregnable till that time.They will wage wars outside their country only if there is a financial gain to them or access to energy sources. It became a rude shock when more than 3000 died in the 9/11 attack.It is well known to them that Pakistan is a terror state and and also well protected by their Govt.US has all this information.But they take a different stand when it it comes to killing of Innocent Civilans in India by Pakistani Nationals who held centre stage at Mumbai.It is the loss of life and it is the same whether it is hapening in India or US. Would US have kept quiet if Pakistan were their neighbours and they come and fire and kill their innocent citizens.With in hours they would have bombed all the terrorist network in Pakistan.US will only talk to go slow because it is Indian Blood which has been spilled.

President Zardari seems committed to tackle the growing militancy but will he be successful. I am sure not. Because though he represent the country's largest elected party but his relation(s) with the hub of militancy (North West Frontier Province) is week. Since Feb.18 general elections, the Awami National Party (ANP) who got majority votes is also fails to deliver PEACE what he promised during the elections campaign. Militancy is growing day by day but who cares.

Why we are fighting who is right and wrong. Why we try to anylsis the aftermate of the terriost act. Why we are trying to point finger against each other. The main curlpit is TERRIOST so why not attack them they are sitting and watching all the moves of our. They have purposely created this problem for all of us wether it is India, Paskitan or USA. It is there game plan to creat a choas, disorder, misunderstanding between us so they can strike again. 1) We all should (all the countries) of the world come together and destory the Terriost. That is our first motive. 2) We must all co-operate in sharing intelligence. to tackle the problem. 3) We should start thinking like terriost. why? because it will be easy for us to access the situtation (why, who, when and where) before terriost strike us again. 4) We should try to make understand Pakistan goverment why is it necessary for them to dismantel the terriost camp and not support the terriost from there country.

the analysis that you have made is true, but then, what is there to expose about the US? every country has to act for their interests and if the US is doing so, it shouldn't be any of our concern. but, yes, i do feel that the role of the US in making the Pak Govt bend is should be analyzed. just because a super power and the rest of the world is condemning the attacks, the Pak Govt is ready to ''co-operate''. what if these ''outsiders'' did not interfere? i dont think that the Pak govt. would have been half as ''co-operative'' as they have been claiming to be till now. i believe that in transforming Pakistan's attitude towards terrorism, the entire world will have to pressurize it.

"What a wonderful analysis? The problem is ours.We are not so powerful to take revenge on the enemy,who ever they are. America is only trying to gather world opinion and put pressure on Pakistan to rightly respond.It is not their problem.Why blame America?.Other wise also,what we would have done? We would have cried for some time,like what we did ,when our Parliament,the seat of our power was attacked and later kept quiet.Remember we had a BJP Goverment at that time,with all powerful Advani in Control. It is no use to blame helping people and expect others tol fight our battles. It is also not wise to dream, that we can go for war and defeat the enemy.The war hurts both the battling people eaqually that too in the present situation.Be sane and donot jump to crazy thoughts.

I could not agree more. US has soft-peddaled our problems. Rice came here to protect US interests. Trained Pakistani terrorists came here and killed innocent Indians. We must retaliate by hitting terrorist camps (and NOT innocent Pakistani citizens - its not a tit-for-tat game). Then we can easily debate the same way Pakistan is debating now after killing and injuring 100s of Indians. We too can issue similar denials.

I don't know why Gurumurthy is puffing and ranting about US. US Govt is not elected to protect Indians. US want power as global policeman but does not accept responsibility. Its the reality and therefore we have to face it ourselves not rely on US pressing Paki pressure points to make a show of doing 'counter-terror'. We have to take it upon ourselves to bomb pakistan to stone age either through overt means like missile/fighter aircrafts or through proxies in Baluchistan and Sindh. I think we have to step up the job of dismembering pakistan. Why do we have to go overt and risk a war, lets just bleed them like they have done to us all along and now the rest of the civilized world. Let's teach a memorable those son of bitches scumbags called Pakis..

This is absolutely true. Americans are puppets in the hands of Pakistan. It is disgusting to see that when the terror sponsored by Pakistan affects India , the US only sympathises with India . When America lives are lost , they get indulgent and indignant. When Indian lives are lost , they just warn Pakistan , saying , please make sure this does'nt happen again. As long as Americans adopt double standards , Pakistan would just enjoy and watch the misery and helplessness of the World at large. My only hope is that the new US president is different. I am sure he is more well informed than all the past US Presidents. I wish him the best and look forward to see a changed world , intolerant to terror sponsored by Pakistan. Hope the new US administration will appreciate the view of a common man from India.
