I've been itching for some revenge too. The Mumbai thing was grotesque enough to really piss me off. The thing that got to me the most was the lack of any real demands -- there was no goal beyond killing. My fantasies have mostly involved Indian tanks rolling into Islamabad. It's about time we got that two bit banana republic off our doorstep, dammit! Unfortunately, reality tends to seep in and ruin everything. Frankly, I have few moral qualms about whacking people with blood on their hands. But I see no reason why force is going to be successful in suppressing terrorists this time when it has been so conspicuously ineffective in the past. Show me one insurgency which has been quelled without addressing the root causes. On the other hand, I see no realistic way how the Kashmir conflict can be addressed without both India and Pakistan being willing to move from their entrenched (if not fossilised) positions on it. I don't see that happening, so I predict another 50 years of this bloodshed. -- b
