I read this article first thing in the morning. Its awesome, I saw myself expressing every word. Its just that you are good with words. This is what every Indian feels. True we civilians cannot do anything except vote this a.....es' to power. Just keep writing such columns. Keep up the good work.

My comment is based on all the comments made by all the respondents ahead of me about Mr. Shishir Matre's article"Indians have to be ruthless against the Terrorists who inflict such wounds in the heart of the nation. I repeat what people have written, selectively: 1) Yes indeed-Nothing else will stop, 2) Wonderful article- Blood boils, 3) I stand with you- You are practical, 4) Why is India soft, 5) Incinerate the evil, 6) India needs a revenge, 7)Strike back unitedly, 8) I agree with everything you said.
No doubt, we have made a lot of noise. But what is practically needed? Our legal system needs a 100% revamp. With anticipatory bails, bails & bails, adjournments after adjournments, coming out with 1000's of pages of useless, meaningless judgements, don't you all think that the root cause of these crimes is the "the ruthless, toothless, truthless,factless, meaningless and mindless delivery of justice in our great nation? It is high time that a National Debate is initiated (by Rediff etc.) on this Most Important reason for our FAILURE. A rule such as 'an eye for an eye' at the right tme for the 'wrongdoers' and justice for 'the wronged' is the need of the hour.
Who do we take vengeance on?

Guys, I know you all are angry towards an act of terrorism...but you tell me who do you want to take vengeance on? And will that return the 200 odd lives or will that stop more blasts from happening? I think the author is influenced more by Bollywood movies on revenge than krishna stories...Rediff.com, please censor such articles which inculcate violence on civilians' minds...How are we going to be different from terrorists then?
