IISC Attack - Find them and hang them

Now there has been an attack on one of the few peaceful places left in India and the casualties are retired professors and lab assistants. The message? Everyone is fair game..... Firstly what the hell was the government doing? This is a time and age, inspite of the tragedies which have befallen the sub-continent, where no amount of precaution is enough. As per an intelligence police officer, the commercial targets are clear as imported terrorism becomes more destructive and starts targeting India's commercial interests. Now that is the defensive strategy, provide security cover to all important gatherings; officials, scientists, vip's ......But for how long? The drain on the resources, loss of liberty and freedom, arethey really worth it? Probably not. An increasingly popular view is that this fight must be taken into the enemy camp. This is also a good reason that Dubya is so popular in India, probably more than any other president in the US/Indian history; shoot first ask questions later.
Softpedaling the issue wont help, only the political will is missing and why not? There was one of the esteemed elected representative seen in the Company of India's most wanted ... Dawood Ibrahim - Butcher of Bombay, the terrorist who planned the blasts which killed over 200 people. His excuse? He was invited by the other family... he should be drawn and quartered for treason against the state and the people! and what of the people across the border? The woefully inadequate response the earthquake, the delayed aid which is still to reach the freezing kashmiris, and on the Indian side, while the losses were significant, I am sure the houses have been rebuilt!! What kind of country will rather let people die than disclose the training activities in the region... time will tell as will the commerce (or the lack thereof across the border!)!
