The Bush/Blair reaction to terrorism is all that the West understandably talks about. Unfortunately the terrorism that the West has suffered is piffling compared to what has been happening in India and reactions to this from India have been piffling compared to that of Western leaders (Bush/Blair) It therefore irritates me when Indians parrot out "Western" reactions to a situation that calls for more pro-active anti-terror responses and less copying of what the West is saying about leaders of the Western world. Just my thoughts. shiv
