Mr Siwaswami is very forceful in putting is argument but the argument is flawed. Using the response of USA to determine our response is like comparing apples to oranges. India is a very diverse country unlike the US. We have world's second largest Muslim population and I shudder to think what will happen if we adapt brick for brick strategy because this is a mass of people who is largely uneducated and poor and could be misguided by the Mullas, terrorists and their sponsors.
At the same time, I agree with him that we should take some steps which show that we mean business and not just indulge in empty rhetoric.
It is high time that we as a nation decide on course of action to deal with terrorism otherwise we will be doomed because our adversaries will take our inaction as our weakness and cowardice.
