Neeraj, you probably very well are aware that India does not need anybody's support to deal with the problem of terrorism. They can do it themselves. You will not see the Indian Prime Minister coming to lobby Washington with "hard evidence" that Musharraf is a terrorist. What concerns me is US's double faced foreign policy distracted primarily by the Rambo duo (Cheny/Rumsfeld). Here you have Bush telling the world that "..either you are with us or you are against us in the war on terrorism. If you support or shelter the terrorists you are against us". In pursuance of this policy, they will not touch Arafat with a nine foot pole and they have branded him a terrorist.(the pressure of the American Jewish lobby). On the other hand, Pakistan is the hotbed of terrorism, they are all harbored in there, Daniel Pearl has been killed by the terrorists there, terrorists blew up a bus of French engineers, they launched a grenade attack in a church attended by US citizens, and the US still feels comfortable in keeping in close proximity to Musharraf. I think it is time for India to start "combing operations" from its border with Pakistan to Pakistan's border with Afghanistan and hook up with the American troops there. India has been a pretty much of a neutral country. They have maintained good relations with the Arabs, the Israelis, the Soviets, the US and the EU. It is time for India to roar and signal to its Muslim population (the second largest group in India and also in the world) that it is not the Muslim religion that they are against, they they are not pro-Jewish but that they are truly and neutrally anti-terrorists. That's my soap box for today
