One more thing ...



I found an interesting article concerning the topic which was summarized in my previous posting. I hope Arabian Business allows me to quote it.

Logistics is critcal in an mergency operation



It is sad to find that Mumbai attacks exposed a gap in all aspects of logistics - Intelligence Information ignored, delay in coordination among the essential services like fire brigde, police etc, delay in moving commandoes to the site of siege, delay in acquiring a dedicated aircraft for NSG. no asset visibility in emergency operation etc = all point out to a sense of inadequacy but leaves very important lessons for all.

Pakistan should cooperate!



US has given a very clear signal to Pakistan that they need to cooperate with India. Now the ball is in Pakistan's court! For Zardari, this is the first major test to prove that he is and will be a capable President.

India and Pakistan need tojoin hands, not play blame games.



I am sure everyone agrees that terrorists are dispicable people, regardless of what religion or cause they elude themselves with acting upon - However, clearly (as shown in the US, UK, Spain, etc) it is very hard to stop someone who is hell bent on killing themselves along with others, regardless of whether they're homegrown or otherwise. Pakistan's government (even if it is as sincere and transparent as it claims) has the most difficult job in this respect on a number of fronts, namely the US's war in Afghanistan, lawlessness in the Northern Territories, it's own territorial differences and in-fighting and of course, Kashmir. The Indian government of course does understand the issues at hand, but i guess, when bloodshed is upon you, it's easy to blame others than to admit to your own shortcomings. The solution is for everyone (Western governments, Pakistan and India) to work together as a single force - rather than India and Pakistan constantly jibing each other with accusations and a war of words, which clearly serve no purpose other than small glory for the politicians in front of a few TV cameras.

Terror attacks in Mumbai



Condoleezza Rice has given the Pak. govt. a very simple and effective way to prove its bona fides. They must go where ever the evidence leads and MUST take the strongest possible action against the terrorists who have no religion , no country, no loyalties and no remorse.

If Zardari does that he will be hailed as the most sensible statesman on the sub-continent. More than helping India he will do his own people a good turn.

I am sure he will have the full support of the majority of the Pakistani people and the whole International community
