Mumbai Mayhem: War on Terrorism and need for Political Wisdom

Hello Friends

1. The USA has now changed its stand on handing over of the Pak terrorist/Groups involved in Mumbai mayhem to India for trials. This was the demand of the GOI. They have now told that they should be tried in Pakistan itself. Probably, tomorrow they will say that the people involved are not Pakistanis. Where do we stand. The fact is that we have to fight our own battle and that we should. We have to depend on our own strength ultimately. The earlier we understand the better.

2. We have to depend on our own Armed forces. Will that happen by downgrading them in Status, Rank, Pay and Pension and by adversely affecting their morale? There appears to be progressive built up of serious commotion among the personnel of the Armed forces, both serving and retired, which does not augur well for the Indian State. Who will look into this degraded state of affairs? Media could be restrained to some extent by the Govt, but can we, the ire of the public if that also happens to rise in consonance with the Armed Forces. We will see in the coming days, the worsening of the situation.

3. I caution for RESTRAINT but without loosing grip over the situation building up. Also, We now need young people to take over reigns of the political command to lead the Nation: but do you see any one on the Indian Horizon?? It is time that the present Govt acts with foresight and Deep Wisdom, by leaving aside their political compulsions and take the country safely from the current crises.
