I do hold very divergent view than what you presented. Stoicness and restraint and a sincere belief in turning the other cheek got us independence. It is very easy to talk of what US did. But we are not US. It never makes sense to do follow the so called mighty. What they did and how effective it is only time will tell. There are far too many dimensions to this war then just terror. Last thing one wants to believe is the foxnews or the "experts" who feature there. You may also read latest issue of Time, the cover story is "cowboy diplomacy" doesnt work. If it didnt work for US I seriously doubt if it will work for us.
We need to look deep into our philosophy to find our answers. Looking west doesnt work.
Just a few thoughts from someone who has no claim to smartness or great knowledge.
