charity begins at home. let's worry about terrorism in india before worrying about terrorism or whatever in lebanon. that's their problem. we have serious problems. and by the way, i've never seen lebanon worrying about india's problems. when india and pakistan went to war, lebanon was sending money to pakistan, not to india. and we're supposed to grieve for them?
india should be grieving about the 200 murdered on mumbai trains and doing something so that there will not be another terror attack again.
but of course not.
following in the footsteps of certain pompous and foolish megalomaniacs who believed their utterings had any impact on the world, the indian parliament pontificates about lebanon and against israel.
kanchan is right. israel is not the culprit, it's hizbollah. it is their 'original sin' of killing and kidnapping israeli troops that brought on this attack. and also their stockpile of 12,000 rockets mostly acquired from syria and iran which their leader nasrullah has been openly bragging about. what were these rockets intended for -- like pakistan's weaponry which is purely india-specific -- other than to attack israel? and these are placed, carefully, in tunnels and in homes in civilian areas.
so hizbollah is using the civilians as a shield. then it is pretty hypocritical to say that the israelis are shooting at the civilians. this is sort of like hiding behind shikhandi and then complaining that people shoot arrows at shikhandi anyway. if you dont want the civilians to die, stop using them as shields. actually the hizbollah cares less for civilians' welfare than for the propaganda value in dead civilians.

Let's not cry over Qana
Kanchan Gupta
On Monday, July 31, a travesty of sorts was committed when the Lok Sabha unanimously adopted a resolution whose contents amount to a scathing indictment of Israel for "the large-scale and indiscriminate bombing of Lebanon... which has resulted in the killing and suffering of large numbers of innocent civilians, including women and children, and widespread damage to civilian infrastructure."

I am trying to read Jaswant Singh's statements between lines. The PM seems unusually active about defending something/somebody.
Had Shekhar Gupta been doing the BJP bidding, he would have suggested/stated that it was the PM himself. There is no journalist worth his salt doing the BJP bidding, so we get some tasteless analysis from pioneeer. No garam masala. Really.
