it would be a factor, that is, if our politicians had any cojones. instead, i am sure the prime minister reiterated after the IISc attack that the next time there is another terrorist attack, he's going to get really, really mad, and he's going to hold his breath until he's blue in the face. of course, this will not affect the 'piss process' with pakistan, he would have repeated.
