India should learn some lessons from the US
The quick but intelligent way in which the US reacted after being confident of Osama's whereabouts should be a lesson for India. India, even after having dreaded terrorists in its jails, is hesitant to take strong action that can act as a deterrent.
INDIA SHOULD learn lessons from the US in its swift operation to kill Osama Bin Laden that any militant attacking a country should be punished at the earliest opportunity without the matter lingering on indefinitely.The same is likely to follow in case of the only living terrorist held for the infamous 26/11 Mumbai attack. All mercy petitions must be finally decided within a time-bound period of a maximum of three months.
For such delay we might have to pay a heavy price. A real-life example was the hijack of an Indian plane a few years back. The Indian government had to release dreaded terrorists as a bargain to free making innocent hostages.
The Indian government has missed several opportunities in taking counter-attacking measures when the enemy and terrorists were right in front of them - or even captured.
The lesson we can learn frrom the US is that strong and sharp reaction can go a long way in keeping terrorists in check. And that we must act and not spend time in political bargaining.
