Will there be War between two Nuclear Armed nations?

Late Wednesday night, Nov 26, 2008, Mumbai, India found itself the target of a ferocious terrorist attack, and the situation remains unresolved even now, three days later. According to a report, about high 60 young men entered Mumbai in small inflatable boats on Wednesday night, carrying bags filled with weapons and ammunition, and spread out to nine locations to begin their attacks. Lobbing grenades and firing their weapons, they entered hotels, a railway station and several other buildings, killing scores and wounding even more. As of this moment, the identity of the attackers has yet to be definitively determined, though there are reports indicating some of the gunmen were Pakistani - at least nine of them have been killed, nine more arrested. As of this writing, there were a reported 195 people killed from 11 different countries - though nearly 100 was Indian. More than 300 injuries have also been reported - those numbers may yet rise as several hostage situations still exist in the city.

Someone told me, “there is no issue related to national security, while the election discussions were very hot, so don’t listen to Sen. McCain, GOP is using classic strategy of fear mongering. Terrorist attack soft targets... and they have attacked in pretty much every civilized country in the world... there is no way to stop them ... so get over Sept 11.”

After Bombay devastation, to those who have blamed President Bush Government and White house for Fear mongering, I want them to look these pictures.

And tell me after 9/11 we do not have any attack on US Soil. Do you think this man deserves little credit? Election is over for god’s sack, please thinks wisely and fairly.

Being Indian citizen, I have been asked by so many Americans for my opinion, is every one of your family and friends alright, (Yes… thanks for asking… we live about 230 miles north of Mumbai). What you think, will India will start War against Pakistan, My answer to them – look at the reply “Terrorist attack soft targets... and they have attacked in pretty much every civilized country in the world... there is no way to stop them ... so get over Sept 11.” And tell me – what is going to happen. Indian leadership is a big pussy cat, they will make all possible noises, but at the end nothing is going to happen, since this time for the first time, there are some foreign nationals including Americans are killed, so it is made big issue. Or look at the recent past of the country as India, and you will find that there are so many attack happened involving Pakistan, and nothing had happened, and there is no reason in my mind, it will be any different this time. For counter attack, India needs head strong leadership like President Bush, who fought back. and being pro-active, he had brought war to terrorist, in their door step, instead of fighting on US soil. One willargue, the war has caused US Economy to go down, but in my language there is a saying "Paiso to Haath no Mel che - roughly translates to - Money is like dirt on your hand - you can earn it back", but teaching lession to these barberian terrorist is more important. Another saying in my language "Julm karne se bura hai Julm sahan karana - dar kar jine se accha hai Saamne Lad kar marana - roughly translates to - its better to fight and die than live under constant fear, the thing that is worse than do tyranny is to bear it ".
