The Myopia and Hypocrisy in dealing with Terrorism

The approach of most of the world's civilized nations, and some in the midst of becoming civilized (like India) is most baffling in their strategy to tackle terrorism. There has been no disease known to man that has so confounded civilisation, from the Black Death to Nazism to HIV, that has flourished for as long as terrorism has, unscathed, right in our midsts. Humans have well understood that attack is the best form of defence in any battle for survival, but as far as terrorism is concerned, the impotence of the response is simply beyond reason. India, recently, hanged the sole surviving murderer of 26/11, and spent years in arriving at a decision, that, if it had to be effective, should have taken the form of a public execution at India Gate. But by giving him a voice in a trial and taking almost 4 years to eliminate a surrendered enemy living under our nose is laughable for a country that has even the faintest desire of securing its homeland. There seems to be a collective surrender from every country in the midst of or in the neighbourhood of Islamists, except for Israel and the United States, the only countries pursuing these madmen to their desired extermination - no trial, no jury, straight execution. Can there be a bigger professor of this solution, than Israel, a country surrounded by maniacal enemies for the past 60 years? A country that lives under rocket fire on its capital cities and continues to struggle for survival through a necessary policy of attack as the first form of defense? India, and any other nation, for example, needs to contribute in men, materials and money to the Allies Against Terrorism. Instead of escorting mass murderers on flights to Afghanistan and making a laughing stock of the whole nation in the eyes of the world, we need thousands of men on ground fighting the wars in Af-Pak and the Middle East as a training ground for its armed forces in understanding this menace and tackling it successfully should it strike our homeland again. We need to admit to the dangers present in our country's religious extremists and terrorist cells in Universities, and eliminate the threats, without losing time and hours of sleep over when the next bomb targeting innocent civilians will go off. Wake up!
