An average Indian's life has been reduced to a penny's worth by those whom we elect to power. An average Indian's life is trampled over time and again the way ants are trampled over in a farmland. <BR/><BR/>Yes, India can change, it will for better if any terrorist strike kills 2-3 dozens of our high-profile netas enmass. <BR/><BR/>We are governed by sick people whom we call parliamentarians or legislators. If you watched today's session in Lok Sabha, you would realize why I am saying what I am saying.<BR/><BR/>They were again leg-pulling each other and one was at his best to prove the other wrong, and vice versa. Rather than debating on how to tackle terror, this Sonia Gandhi sychophant, Kapil Sibal was counting points against POTA to L K Advani.

Wouldnt this be another way of surrendering to our enemies? Are'nt we bowing out of the arena?<BR/>Is it out of your despair that you seem there in no other solution but to kill the lone terrorist. Or is there another solution? Of course he should be hanged in public as soon as possible. I think our police officers are smart and have gathered enough information from this killer. Let him not come to the world stage and start repeating the same old story of Kashmir. If other nations are doing it what is stopping India from doing it. But now we have the best criminal lawyer willing to represent this killer and we remain silent. <BR/>I do not think India needs to demonstrate her democracy in this case. If the new laws that have been brought in cannot still hang this criminal without further nonsense; then it is time for a public agitation. Let us see which leader or political party refrains from joining this agitiation; then maybe we can throw them also in jails.<BR/><BR/>I find that the Corporates have succeeded in getting themselves protected; but who will protect the ordinary Indians?Happy Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406399936808407736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-86657423875784323512008-12-16T18:06:00.000+05:302008-12-16T18:06:00.000+05:30I beg to differ, Sir.

We killed all nine but one of them in defense. The one that we have, has killed fifty of us, and rather than hanging him, our judiciary and media is debating about who his lawyer would be. Eventually he will be saved or no wonder traded by Islamic fanatics in yet another Kandahar and our television channels + netas will have yet another round of salvos to fire from their fungal mouths. In my opinion the verdict for this lunatic is simple; he has killed fifty people, he has confessed to crime, so what is the problem, hang him? It is as simple as that.<BR/><BR/>But this would not be the case; the debate will go on and on and on and on until, and as I said, another Kandahar takes place.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry to say but Mumbai operation was a total failure one, because of absolutely no coordinated effort; two, because media did a good job providing them information via Pakistan; and three, they took 200 lives for the 9 they had.<BR/><BR/>Surprisingly, we are still patting our backs and thinking that united as India stands today is going to prevent another such strike. This is ostritch mentality, because, and as the satirist has remarked, "operation was successful but the patient is dead."<BR/><BR/>India is dead and it doesn't make much difference whether or not it awakens...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-60183287681705274602008-12-16T15:51:00.000+05:302008-12-16T15:51:00.000+05:30But as usual we are lumbering instead of acting fa...But as usual we are lumbering instead of acting fast and decisively.<BR/> <BR/>Pakistan continues to claim that there is no solid proof that the terrorists are from Pakistan and India remains silent. Why? Or does it not matter? What stops India from throwing solid proofs at the International Community? Now that Pakistan refused to let British police interrogate the so called terrorists they claim to have arrested, India should give a fitting reply by letting the lone terrorists be interrogated by the British police. Let them hear it first hand and tell the world if no other proof is available.<BR/> <BR/>As for the bodies of the rest of the terrorists; in what way can they be proved to be Pakistanis? This question has baffled me.Happy Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406399936808407736noreply@blogger.com
