Atleast a majority's opinion. What will be a better time than this ? I am sure if it comes from Abdul Kalam, a muslim himself, it will be easier to generate support. But he is probably interested in one more term :-). Dr.Singh won't take such a decision. So we will have to wait for the some leader !<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, the media will write about resilience and will make us forget the whole episode.<BR/><BR/>But it has to be from the government more exactly from the leaders. People will embrace it later. It is very difficult to do this bottom up. Our elections are fought with Gold coins and color tvs. Terrorism as an election plank may not win you an election. There has to be a gold coin politician, who takes terrorism seriously. We don't seem to have one.Sivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384199154638467979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18684133.post-1152819874411412522006-07-13T15:44:00.000-04:002006-07-13T15:44:00.000-04:00Unfortunately current indian political leadership ...Unfortunately current indian political leadership really lacks will. And India's stance on terrorism has for long been soft. We try indirect methods rather than a direct approach. And our government has never understood how to unite indians against terrorism. They have not been able to form a single public opinion. They should make everyone understand that terrorism is not about religion. Religion is only a means to the terrorist and the end is the division. <BR/><BR/> Governments themselves cannot make the change bcos they are part of the problem. Their inactions and inadequacies have aided in keeping this issue alive. They are also partly guilty and the accused can never solve a problem. The people should push the governments towards stern action. Practically this can happen if an oppurtunist politician makes this an election issue and galvanises votes by using this. Then things will certainly change. We still need to rely on an bold oppurtunistic guy for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
