What next?
I am not asking the same question as all TV channels are asking. All TV channels seem to be asking the same question. They are saying the same things like "enough is enough" etc.
Directing anger towards political establishment. Suddenly all TV channels seem to have taken up this new fancy of changing the world. They are showing interviews of people who are dead against politics and politicians.
There are some conflicting issues here.
Are people against politics? If so, democracy doesnt exist.
If people have to change politics, they need to join politics, or atleast they need to vote on the day of elections. How many of these people appearing on talk shows, or offering sound bites to 24x7 television ever voted? Jaagore...
There is another issue. People want "immediate" response. They want instant results. Do people think that the whole system which failed in preventing these attacks can be changed in a day?
Or are they advocating an US style "war on terror" and go bomb another country?
Till this time, we have been so proudly saying that India never ever attacked any other country in spite of so many people attacking us.
I am not saying that we should keep quite. There are some "experts" which TV channels invite who are advocating "options" like operations of the nature "covert or precision guided" to attack hostile areas.
Even assuming that neighboring country is not going to react, is there a mechanism to prevent such attacks from these groups? We failed in such attempts. Unless, there is a fool proof way to protect our country from external threats, we should not be arrogant enough to jump the fence. We have seen what is the result of arrogance from "world power" like US. Sustained expenditure on trrops on foreign soil put pressure on domestic economy. Are we ready to face such challenges? If I ask the question today, every one will say "yes, we are a patriotic nation, we together will face any challenge..." But, when reality strikes, it is a different story.
I am not saying that we should keep quite. We should build up our defenses. Put better systems in place to protect ourselves.
If there a mad dog in your neighbors house, and your neighbor is equally mad not to contain the dog(or possibly sending the dog to your home by himself), what are your options?
Option1: Go kill the dog. But the point here is he has lot of such dogs. Killing one dog will produce 2 dogs.
Option2: First have an electric fence around your home, and then try to kill those mad dogs.
I am advocating Option2.
