Tunku, do not confuse people. There is only one lesson. Stay on message:

A party that, for example, worships Dawood in the morning cannot form anti-Dawood laws in the evening. Direct all your energies at exposing the UPA, energizing the masses to vote out UPA. Making big empty noises about this or that is counterproductive. Nothing gets done, and the Pakistans, both within and outside of India, get even more emboldened.

The terrorist assault on Mumbai has only just ended, and India has entered a period of urgent self-examination, bitter soul-searching--and increasingly acrid recrimination. Here are five lessons that present themselves--to the naked eye--in the aftermath.
<b>1. India is an incredibly soft target for terrorists.</b>
<b>2. India must revamp its dysfunctional intelligence services. </b>
<b>3. India's political parties must swiftly agree on a national security agenda, drawing up a list of goals that transcend partisan politics.</b>
<b>4. India must take advantage of the presence in Pakistan of a friendly, civilian government.</b>Â
<b>5. The Pakistani government, for its part, needs swiftly to assert control over </b>
