Query

Enough has been written and said about the events of last week in Mumbai. I have only one bit to add - something that puzzles me quite often.

If India thinks most of the recent terrorist activities on its soil have been directed by Dawood Ibrahim from his location in Karachi, why does it not assassinate the guy? What will it take - a focussed, small contingent, similar to a rapid strike force. A lot of other countries armies have such targetted armies (heck, even the inhuman terrorists did). Kill him. Whose permission are we waiting for?

Frankly, I feel embarrassed every time our PM gets on national TV and bleats about 'Pakistan's complicity' or Dawood Ibrahim's hand in 'dastardly acts'. Perhaps he can learn a thing or two from George 'Dubya' Bush - never mind all the fun everyone likes to make of him, he was able to ensure that there was no terrorist strike on the US since September 11, 2001.

We can choose to continue living (actually dying) like we are, or we can do something about it.
