<!--QuoteBegin-Reggie+Jul 13 2006, 10:55 AM-->QUOTE(Reggie @ Jul 13 2006, 10:55 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Seriously, as I had asked several posts back, GOI's options are severaly limited.  What exactly can the MMS administration do?

1)Any escalation initiated by the GOI against Pakistan, and the "Nuclear Flashpoint" will return - kiss the India - U.S. Civil Nuclear agreement goodbye!

2) The IA lacks the formidable power to annihilate or "teach Pakistan a lesson" quickly - two to three days (max a week).

3) The GOI will NOT cross the LOC (remember Kargil).

4) Other than making polite diplomatic protests, what exactly do you think GOI can do under such circumstances?

5) Fine - GOI points to LET and SIMI as the culprits.  What next?  Maybe, just maybe, bring back POTA for SIMI (Don't bet on it though!).  For LET,  really, what choice does the GOI have?

For whatever it is worth? SIMI using rdx, timer in pencils on previous blasts (August 2005).  What exactly did the GOI did then which would lead us to believe that THIS time it will be different?

I think the government should issue strong statements. send representatives among people and have people rally behind the cause. people are fragmented and scared right now. manmohan and his people should engage with India population before making any move themselves. they must garner public support. generate patriotic fervour and than take strong actions.
