To hell with diplomacy!

I am my wife’s darling. I am my daughter’s ach-cha. I am my mother’s favorite. I am my sister’s little bro. But I am also my country’s son. I am India’s son and today I am angry, sad, helpless and frustrated. My country is bleeding. My countrymen, my brothers are sisters were killed by terrorists.

I resisted blogging about the Mumbai carnage all these days because I was so sure my anger would pour absolute profanity and insane frustration and I would make no sense at all. I fear that no more. I might flood this blog with profanity but I will not contain my anger. I might make no sense here but I will not contain my frustration. We, Indians are too forgiving, too forgetful, too naïve, too accommodative, too liberal, too calm that it is perceived we are too weak to act.

To hell with diplomacy. Talks with Pakistan can go down the stinking toilet for all I care. In whose best interest is it to make peace with a bankrupt-wanna-be-democratic country like Pakistan? Our interest? At what cost? The blood of our brothers and sisters? To hell with diplomacy.

Mr. Prime Minister. Who is in-charge? Who commands the armed forces and intelligence? Who gets briefed on intelligence reports? Who is supposed to act on intelligence reports?

The government was apparently warned of attacks on hotels in Mumbai carried out from the Sea. Ever heard of pre-emptive strikes? That time has come and gone.

Strike those terrorists camps. Unleash the most ruthless covert operation to annihilate the Dawood network and every one of those Dons out of India and inside India. We have sat on our asses too long. Show no weakness you piece-of-shit politicians. Seal those borders. Impose those embargos. Deport every illegal immigrant, Pakistani and Bangladeshi alike.

I don’t want to wear a Pakistani –made Tshirt. I never did. I don’t want to see the Pakistani cricket team tour to India. Ohhh, to hell with diplomacy!

The Pakistani ambassador to US was on George Stephanopoulos show this Sunday. After all the talking points were reeled off he end it saying that India cannot blame Pakistan. The ministers have owned up responsibility by resigning and Indians should probably look closer to home in their investigation. What the f***! A few ministers resigning? They resigned because they were incompetent. They resigned because they didn’t do their job. They resigned so that their party’s face is saved. They resigned because the government thinks it will give its citizens some closure. Closure? Oh no no no. I gave two shits about the resignation. I do not want closure. I want my country to act. I want my country to respond.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
- Jules Winnfield quoting the bible in Pulp Fiction

To hell with diplomacy!

Jai Hind!
