Are you referring to the recent deal to sell nuclear fuel? FYI, India developed its nuclear arsenal pretty much without any foreign assistance.

Now this may sound callous, but hear me out first. I'm kinda "glad" they hit India.

I'll be just as "glad" when they hit a few more countries. I'm just as "glad" they have pirates based out of Somalia.

Until the world realizes it's not an American problem but a world problem nothing will get done to get rid of the terrorists and the countries that support them.

We've always had terrorist, they are nothing new, but the scope of their actions is new.

That has got to be one of the most arrogant things written in this thread. I'm sure you have no clue that INDIA warned AMERICA that the Taliban,Al Quaeda and various Mujahadeen cells existed way back in the 80s!

AMERICA chose to ignore those warnings and continued to supply TALIBAN and Al Quaeda leaders. AMERICA prevented India from eradicating the problem areas of Pakistan.

So by your reasoning you should be "glad" that 9-11 happened because it finally woke the US government up after over 20yrs of turning a blind eye.

Seriously, some people need to get their heads out of their asses.

What happened in Mumbai is nothing new in India, its been happening for decades. Their scope changed only after Sept. 11 so they could get international attention.
