Piyush - that is what cowards do as you are saying and terrorists get away. Israelis may have compromised in secret in the past but they hund down the same guys and finish them off very , very quickly. However - both US and Israel have no negotiations with hostages policy now. BJP was more worried about upper middle class votes than national security in which it should have ignored the pleas of mothers and brothers of AIrline passengers. If my mother is kidnapped - naturally for ME SHE is more important than any national issue even if that leads to 100 more deaths. Tough leaders make right choices in such situation so that more mothers and father are not hurt in future.
