Excellent Shambu-sir.
Only nitpick (could be wrong as I am not sure of the context) is that we have to start disassociating K word from the terrorisim in India. Pakis want this to the issue hence their war of thousand cuts.
But as events since 9/11 have it, West is not too interested in 'root-causes' of terrorism argument. So any discussion of justifying/apologizing/sympathizing for terrorism under the grab of 'understanding the root-causes' should be nipped as it's just not acceptable. When terrorists start blowing up trains in Madrid we don't go into 'root-causes'; when they bomb subways in London, we don't offer an inch to discussions centered around 'root-causes'; same for 9/11, Bali, etc..
Let's be clear and make sure all point to terrorism for what it is. It can't justified one way in one part of the world and another way for other parts of the world.
One dork I know was talking to me about a week ago, offering condolences etc and then brought up the K word and fantasized about world peace if only K was settled.
By the time I was done with him, *I* felt sorry for him <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->
