Victory for Pakistan - through Terrorism

Pakistan has very cunningly, once again, made a fool of India. The wonderful stage-managed terrorist action on the 3rd March against the Srilankan cricket team has fooled the world. Our political analysts and media persons are now made to wonder whether this attack was pre-planned for attack against the Indian cricket team. My belief is that this assumption is a fallacy. This sort of action can be planned within a few days with the support of the government. That this terrorist action was fully stage-managed could be clearly seen in the TV footage. It was definitely endorsed by the United States because there was a strong protest from some quarters of the Senate against the Pakistan government misutilising the funds and arms supplied to them and there were suggestions that arms supplies be reduced or stopped as they were being diverted to the Talibans and terrorists to be used against India. Now that Pakistan has demonstrated to the world that terrorists are lurking in every street corner, arms will be generously doled out to them by the United States to strengthen the police and the armed forces of Pakistan. All working to plan. And India is at the receiving end.
The United States has not yet learnt from the past. They withdrew (ran away) from Korea. They beat a hasty retreat from Vietnam after a resounding thrashing. Now they have opened a new front in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. is least bothered about the sufferings of those affected in wars, as long as they are not their own countrymen. Attention should always be diverted from the United States. Obama or no Obama, terrorism will thrive in other countries. The warlords of the United States are more powerful than the President. It is they who dictate terms, the President is just a doll, a 'kathputli'.
A shift in the balance of power is most essential to eradicate terrorism. India has all the necessary ingradients to take the centre stage. India has the man-power, the technical know-how and enough sincere, hard working dedicated people to control and push the nation forward. The nation's greatest drawback is its unbridled democracy and the red-taped bureaucracy. Several years ago, when Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the then Prime Minister of Singapore, visited India, one reporter asked him what he thought of the democratic system in India, he gave a very short reply that the present system is not good for a country as large and diverse as India. Unbridled democracy has bred corruption to the hilt. All political parties have encouraged criminals and corruption. The coming Parliamentary election is a very important one. People should vote for the right person, no matter to which party he or she belongs. The Parliament should usher in the young and the bold and not the sick, the old and the corrupted. The nation is in urgent need of a change, to stand erect and face the world boldly and not to toe the line drawn by any other nation.
