Like Udhay I too am being carried away in a tide of deadlines, and I like to fool myself that I have time by writing on silk] 1. Colombo is sparsely populated in comparison to any Indian city. This changes things a lot. Further, I'd hate to live in a city like Colombo. 2. The police are insufferable as they are, I'd hate for them to have more power. 3. The terrorists hitting Mumbai are only able to do so because of the underworld's support. Shutting this down is easier than having a policeman everywhere. 4. A Munich like operation is what I wanted when I first heard of the blasts. However if anyone is launching a private Munich effort, IMO they should also include a few Indian politicians in the list whose removal will result in greater net good than any terrorist. Cheeni
