Terror Strikes Mumbai

How many more terrorist strike will lead to governments awakening. We have heard about setting up of Federal Investigation agency since last two years. Each time terror strikes our intellengentia state that we need

Police reforms (Non interference by political parties)
Reequipping and retraining police force.
Beefing up intelligence
Setting Close circuit cameras.

And again after this particular strike our PM is repeating the same lines. If you cannot implement within last two years what will you do now.

Media has lauded the security forces which in a way is true but isn't it laughable that there was no central command monitoring the operation, terrorist had better understanding of layout of Taj and other places then our own security forces.

If we ask one simple question to government that if they can come to our country why can't we also go to their country and bomb out their bases. Special operations will not lead to war and also we will attain our objective of taking them out. Government say that Lashkar e toiba and Jaish e Mohammad are behind it, why can't we assassinate their leaders. If Dawood Ibrahim's daughter can get married to Javed Miandad son before the spotlight of indian media why could'nt we launch commando operations in Dubai and kill them there, we can always adopt Pakistani position of plausible deniability and without loosing any international credibility.

Problem I think is that our politicians have short term view about this election rather than having long term view of Indian security interest.

It's laughable that we aim to compete with China in internatinal sphere but are not able to handle Pakistan and Bangladesh. We should copy Israeli and Russian counter terrorism policy, which is kill all those people including family members of terror supporting organisation.

It's million times better to fight war in foreighn soil rather than on Indian territory.
