I think this is a very relevant point. Somehow and for some reason, Dr. Singh's Government is not only been shamelessly meddlesome in the institutions that were hitherto the pride of the country but also been fairly meek when it comes to dealing with Pakistani Government!! It has been the constant refrain and logic from the Congress Government where they have always equated the response of Indian Muslims with India's relations with Islamic countires that had been the bane of the Indian Republic! If it wasn't for the Vajpayee Government Israel would remain a word spoken in whispers befitting secrets of state in the diplomatic circles!! Why? Because we cannot alienate the Indian Muslims and the Islamic countries. This is even worse than directing violence against the Indian Muslims - you are setting them up for alienation. First they will feel it is logical too - whether they agree or not. And worse the other communities feel that this is so as a reality stand!! Both the scenarios have been proven incorrect! But Congress has NOT learnt its lesson. We need to stand up and just give a nice earful to Musharraf and his Army folks. To say that Musharraf and Paki Army is divorced from the militants is nonsense!! What hasn't happened is arguably even more impressive. Despite an attack on a religious complex in Ayodhya last July, again by militants based in Pakistan, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced that the dialogue would continue.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/ak.buy.com\/db_assets\/prod_images\/048\/60014048.jpg"}
