One aspect of the mumbai blast has thrown out is the number of possibilities. though the author's idea can be given a level of credibility, i don't agree with him fully. One of the reason is, India has never actively supported USA in its global anti terrorist movement, unlike Jordan, Spain (Madrid)and UK. what India was trying to do was to protect its economic interest in getting a deal on nuclear power. I don't think the nuclear agreement would be such a important issue to any terrorist organisation. The reason in Kargil aggression the separatist groups joined hands with Pakistan, is for their expansion of safe heaven. Look at Pakistan by itself, during the earthquake it had allowed two major groups to participate in its relief work. This did show that the powers of Pakistan cannot close the camps. But will rather make use of them. The timing of the blast is what that is preplexing people. why does it have to happen. It is time for all Indians to stand up and wipe out all separatist groups that are operating in this soil. India can absorb and stand back on its feet all the damage. But it should not just absorb ...we had enough of this. Its time for us to fight back.
