How to fight terrorists........
by Chintu on Jul 27, 2008 04:26 PM

The moment blasts take place anywhere in India, by default, unless proven otherwise, it is said to be the hand of Muslim fundamentalists. Let us not forget that terrorists do not have a religion and that even innocent Muslims get killed in such bombings.
Secondly, predictably the next reaction is what is the Government doing, this is happening because of opposition to POTA etc....Well to the best of my knowledge the most daring terrorist attack, the invasion of Parliament happened when POTA was in vogue. So what happened ??? The point is laws are only useful to an extent, what is more important is a strong reslove to fight these creeps.
Also, you will hear ad nauseam the political leaders saying that we must fight back, take strict action, fight fire with fire etc etc...I think these are all bull-shit. Even 4 years after 9/11, all USA could do was some Rambo style bombing in some mountains in Afghanistan and an absolute, confuing mess in Iraq. The need of the hour is some cold an calculated thinking and action to beat these terrorists at their own game. With the kind of population density, large geographical area and diverse religious and political following in India, this is easier said than done.
Not only must those in power do something, they should atleast 'appear' to be doing something about this problem.
