moshe

as the recollections continue on tv,the real reasons and justifications for the attack need to be discussed.
the targetting of the synagogue and the hotels frequented by the western travellers and the indian elites must have been a strategic one.
the al qaeda has targets all over the world from which to choose to attack the west.having perpetrated attacks in indonesia and now in india,they might be planning the next major surprise and shock attack.the media seems to feed their appetite and stoke it too.
the l-e-t in this case might have allied with the al qaeda,two birds with one stone,both the purposes,of the l-e-t and the aq are served.
the aq has to be confronted by someone as the islamic clergy has not been able to do it.it is great that ram jethmalani has set the ball rolling.
the aq has turned into a business enterprise which it was anyway the natural offshoot of the business of the mujahideen conducted for the usa.
the communist government was headed by afghans,muslims also,hence,there was no total justification for a mujahideen.if it were the russians who were heading the afghan government,there would have been reasonable justification.
similarly,it is pakistanis themselves as well as the afghanis who are running governments in pakistan and afghanistan now.
in such a scenario,the aq seems to be an ego trip of some fundamentally confused people.
they must be asked whether their aims can only be achieved by attacking defenseless people.is that the way the great creator has to instruct his army to enforce his will,place bombs and run away,use guns to shoot down people who do not have weapons.if that is the way that the great creator works according to the aq,it is totally at odds with every thing that man has stood for,courage,honour and sacrifice.does this great creator of the aq want man to lose his honour and place bombs in public places and run away cowardly.
if it was only a fight against overwhelming odds,with israel,and the might of the established order,then,there might be a different interpretation of their acts.
there has to be a clear de linking between the fight against israel and the fight for islam.these two fights cannot be mixed up.if it is the might of the west that is being fought,that is what is being done and not a fight to enforce the wishes of allah.allah has given them a bad situation and they have to fight honourably to win the fight.this bad situation cannot be used to pretend that allah wants to enforce the religion that he has given these people,the people who have also been given the bad situation.all they have to do is fight out of the bad situation and fight for a honourable justice.why want to mix up that with trying to spread what allah has given them to help them,he has given other ways and means and other challenges to others around the world.why want to use a bad situation to wreck the whole,then there can never be a resolution of the bad situation.
the comedians of the west,the european union and the united states of america,who are now reeling from the doubts created by the financial meltdown,cannot ask the israelis to just stop new settlements.these jokers do not know the basics of justice.how can one group of people behave as if they are fundamentally different,with arrogance.they are not special in any way,if they are special,they must be the special curse that has come into the world by the wrath of god.these arrogant fools will have been sent by god to wreck the peace of the world.
the israelis and the al qaeda are both similar,in that they have used tough challenges given by god to assume that they have the right to ride roughshod over others.the special messages were given to overcome the special challenges,not for turning into arrogant idiots.
fight for your justice,but with at least the least sense of reason and humility.
have the israelis ever learnt to commiserate with the palestinians,the people who had to move out to accomodate the israelis who had been chased out from europe.
1967 was natural and so was the fight to defend its territiories,but there is nothing natural about using that to expand beyond pre 1967.
what stares the west in the face has been put down as the middle east conflict.a simple resolution to ask israel to stop the settlements seems like it is impossible for the great civilisers of the world.
the aq,meanwhile,uses this to implement the most simple and foolish reaction that a human could have done.the easiest response is the one with the least application of mind.
what ram jethmalani has told must be the only reason that the fight of the aq goes on.

business of terrorism

the global community is not furthering the cause of security and stability in having designated the eelam armed forces as a terrorist organisation.
various groups around the world dealing in the business of terrorism would be now thinking along all the options that a conventional armed force uses.

conspiracy theories from pakistan

what if someone in India pays the l-e-t to execute attacks over here?

say an amount of a 1000 crores,

who has that kind of money,

the l-e-t has the manpower ready and available,people suffering from poverty and motivated using religion.

why would anyone do such an act.

some reports from pakistan have talked about the mumbai attacks being an operation of the indian intelligence establishment.

the terrorism in kashmir has also been spoken of in terms of some groups benefiting from it materially.

our movies have shown such scenarios of anti national elements acting in collusion with outside forces.

who benefits from a war and who loses out in peace,

this question might hold some answers,if this is all not a crazy conjecture.

this scenario might lead to conclusions like the cia paying al qaeda to execute 9/11.

it is a crazy world.

robert ludlums books were all about this kind of a world.

these are excluding the incidents in assam,j and k,and those by the naxalites.

one trend that might be made out is that the incidents are more in the second half of the year and more in the year when elections could have been due but there were none in 2004 an election year.

are we going to get a breather or is there going to be a stepping up.

if one looks at the incidents in 2003 and before,these trends might be confirmed.

In 2008,there have been blasts in panvel,navi mumbai,thane,malegaon and modasa which have been attributed to hindu fundamentalism.

in the election year of 2004,there were a spate of attacks in kashmir.

in the election year of 08-09,there have been a spate of attacks in the major cities but none in kashmir,there have been no major attacks in j and k since 2004.

in 1999,there was one major incident,ic 814 hijack,

in 2000,there was one major incident-red fort,

in 2001 there was one major incident-parliament,

in 2002,there was one major incident-akshardham,

in 2003,there was one major incident-mumbai,

in 2004-none,focus shifts to kashmir.

in 2005-there was one major incident-delhi,

in 2006-there was one major incident-mumbai,

two major attacks in 2007-samjhauta,hyderabad.

three major attacks in 2008-jaipur,ahmedabad,mumbai.

the final conclusion might be that from 1999-2003,the target was to attack places of symbolism-plane hijacking,red fort,assembly,temple,parliament,zaveri bazar,gateway of India.

from 2004-2008,it is all about creating terror and getting higher casualties.

let the games begin

if shivraj patil had announced in parliament a year or two back that we have to get used to a few terrorist attacks every year as that is how the situation has turned up,what would have been the reactions of the chamaeleon electronic media,ie TIMES NOW,navika kumar would have started another exposition as if the information was ferreted out by the channel itself exclusively.
what would have been the reaction of the bharatiya jhoot party,it would have used words such as spineless.
the reality is that we have to start expecting such a scenario,the intelligence agencies and the l-e-t ,j-e-m trying to keep up with each other.
we keep making progress alongside,todays moon mission will be tomorrows mars mission.
todays six lane highways will become tomorrows autobahns.
todays 30 % below the poverty line will turn to tomorrows 10 % below the poverty line.
those desirous of some action will get it,the urban security forces need augmenting.
diplomacy will continue and all options will be explored and implemented.

pakistan will also hopefully,be doing the same.
if hamid karzai starts talking with the taliban,things will start cooling down over there as well.

the only problem with this article is that it brings in the LTTE unnecessarily.
as long as the LTTE is termed as terrorist,the media and the ones doing it will be inspiring terrorists.
the LTTE has been running a state which has not yet been recognized by the world.once recognition comes in,a democracy will start flowering there.

lashkar e toiba

the bravehearts of the lashkar e toiba have the steely calibre which allows them to gun down defenseless people.
it also helps that they see every other people as being inferior to them ,as these other people have developed methods of fighting which include sparring with opponents who also possess arms.
the superior people of the lashkar e toiba view it as a sign of weakness if they are seen fighting opponents who are armed.
hence they select spots where people are found in large numbers and either place bombs and watch it from a distance or use ak 47 s to shoot them down.
it also helps that these other people have been created by someone other than allah.
"we are the lashkar e toiba,we deal in death,of innocent defenseless people,please do not consider us to be deranged,we are in it for the business part,nothing personal".
