Hollow words

When India's home minister threaten Pakistan with dire consequences of any more attacks on India's soil, it tells Pakistan how desperate and weak a nation's govt has become that it has to come up with some sound bites for domestic consumption and to make people believe that we are some how the nation of strong an brave, when actually our action belies bravery and fortitude completely.

To simply put we since last 40 yrs every time in face of a terror attack we have acted like impotent, soft and gutless nation that has no stomach for a fight. We have made it abundantly clear to the world that we are vulnerable and do not have the power and conviction to protect what is important to us from external or internal enemies. As a nation we are a bunch of cowards looking for an escape route and as long as we can get one and get to make a brave speech now and then we are happy with that

The chronology of some important events should help put mirror on our face

(1940 - 1990) - Hazratbal, Kashmir, Rubiya Sayeed and all the other incidents where we let terrorists walk away....

- 1992 Bombay bomb blast, no one is convicted and Dawood is living a luxrious life in Pakistan and mid east while running his empire in Mumbai. Small crooks like Sanjay Dutt are caught and then left off the hook as he has gained stature as a henchman of "bhai". The nation looks on as no one is brought to book

- 1999, Kandahar, we respectfully escort terrorists to Afghanistan to their handlers to secure release of prisoners

- 2002, Parliament attack, one person is convicted and he is left off the hook. One professor is deeply involved but gets off on technicality, we look on and no one dares to attack actual culprits sitting in Pakistan

- 2002 - 2008, series of bomb blasts in Mumbai, Jaipur, Bangalore and all the other places in India and no one gets punished...

- 26/11, we are attacked in media glare and we have a sissy HM telling Pakistan that it is ok this time but we will not tolerate next time..

WHAT A SHAME
