The frenzy to point the finger at Pakistan is like setting the timer on a ticking bomb, much like the one that was placed inside a Taxi headed to Mumbai International Airport on Wednesday night. Times like this call for calm heads, that means you Western media, who seem keener than anyone to get tensions up between two Nuclear powers.
When it comes to relationships between nations with thermonuclear devices , I like the facts to be in first.
And as this is written, we can’t be sure what took place and what might still, in the most dramatic news event of the year. It seems beyond sanity to be pointing the finger already at Pakistan, forcing their foreign Minster to beg at anyone that will listen, that it is not them.
Indian Security forces have never heard of this group "Deccan Mujahedeen", and already the neo-cons over at Murdoch’s The Australian are screaming "101 people had been killed by a group of al-Qaida-trained operatives", Bruce Loudon of News Limited if you know so much about this; please let the Indians and Pakistan Government know.
Sure its reasonable for the Australian press to have a large interest in the event, since apart from the Indian people, we have lost the most casualties, but on site the authorities are scratching their heads wondering who would attack Mumbai in this manner and what exactly their goals are.
If War with Pakistan is it, then we should likely not want to encourage it.
President Obama should be careful too, the front page of the Australian newspaper does not count as actionable intelligence, and while it fits nicely into the narrative that has been drumming since the start of the year, right now the world has far too many problems to commit itself hastily to a third front on terror, one which could go Nuclear.
