I see the issue being extremism and of course, the knife-edge religious divide between the 2 neighbors. the terrorists are simply feeding off both. This issue has gone beyond Kashmir now. Its gone beyond Hindu-Muslim differences. How else do you explain whats happening in the North-east…or the Naxalites in the South.
‘The State/System’ has always been too weak and vulnerable to uneducated misguided power-hungry ‘common-men’. So that has to change. And of course, that change will entail a lot of microscopic changes at every level within the country. Sadly, we’re (indians) too disillusioned or too engrossed in the rat race to think about or effect these changed. Pity.

Cant agree more Rahul. I know that the ppl on both sides are the ones taking the brunt of the power hungry politicians and the misdirected military men. But, from what I see now, the resolution is far far away.

well, i wouldn’t particularly say - target the ministers. unless its just ‘them’. cos with each minister will die his body guard, his driver maybe, his watchman, his wife maybe…all innocent. and of course, are we assuming we don’t and won’t ever have any close one in the ministries. so…
anyway, US not being terrorized? well, they have college shootouts these days…their embassies in other countries are being targeted. guess its just a geographical advantage that Canada is asleep and Mexico is drunk on Tequila!
While the Pakis are give birth to say “terrorize india” before “mom”.
the issue lies elsewhere…and I’m hoping Pak will understand this too after the chain of blasts at the highest levels in the past year or so. Hope they do…

Never… I wish these terrorist targeted these corrupt ministers. They would get everyone’s attention and still do something good to the society.

Thing to ponder: Have you ever heard of any son, daughter, wife, mom-in-law, distant cousin or even the son of the great grand uncle of ANY minister dying in any bomb blast?
