Terrorist attacks in India or Pakistan is a grave threat to the world

By O.J.George

Repeated terrorist attacks in Pakistan should be an eye-opener to that country and peace lovers all over the world about the futility of either supporting blood thirsty groups or ignoring their tentacles.

No doubt, terrorist attack in Mumbai was done with the blessings of Pakistan. Now terrorists, be they Laskhar-e-Toyiba, Pak Taliban or other entities, are turning against Pakistan itself.

I firmly believe that The US should have tackled the terrorist elements camping in Pakistan first before it had turned its attention on Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
US attitude is crucial to the decimation of terrorist elements. One evident example is the extermination of LTTE, which earlier had the tacit approval of agencies in the US. After September 11, 2001, the US reformulated its priorities and declared many organizations as terrorist. LTTE also formed part of the list of terrorist organizations. Gradually, the influence of LTTE waned and that is a thing of the past for now.

Likewise, whether Pakistan was in the bosom of US in the past or not, the Americans should understand that almost all the terrorist elements in the world are deeply enmeshed in Pakistan whose rulers from time to time co-operated with it or ignored their evil activities.

Now the very same elements are turning against the nation, like the Frankinstein monster.
The US should come to understand that its intentions in Afghanistan cannot be achieved in toto with the co-operation of Pakistan, for it is not totally loyal to the commitments made to the US regarding action against terrorists.
Or one can say that the Pak administration had deep-rooted role in the continuance of terrorist activities there that it cannot whole-heartedly turn against the evil forces.


Sooner or later, the US would be forced to deal with the terrorists in Pakistan in other ways. But by then the terrorists would be able to deal deathly blows to peace-loving people, even in the US.

God knows what would happen to the nuclear arsenal in Pakistan, for terrorist organizations have already accessed means of procuring nukes or are capable of getting their hands at it.

Nukes in Pakistan, Iran, North Korea etc could be diverted indirectly to evil minds determined to decimate the world.


China may be thinking that they would be safe as it has close association with Pakistan. Facts would speak otherwise, for terrorists are heartless and would not acquiesce to sentimentalities. If they can attack Pakistani establishments, they can go against others as well.

It is in the interest of the US and others to bridle Pakistan at any cost so that terrorist elements do not find safe haven in that country.
