Terrorism has no nationality or a religion

Mumbai terror attack reminds us that we live in a New World Disorder forced to cope with terrorism just like any natural disaster. Although we can’t fight nature but we can defeat man made carnage if we heal the root cause and isolate few terrorists from many, who want to live in dignity and peace. Just remember, if you react emotionally, the terrorism wins.
Stating that Terrorism has no religion or nationality, is just a ploy to provide cover for the criminals.
Organized terrorism needs a lot of money and resources. Terrorism that the world has been witnessing, is a result of large infusion of cash, wide spread infrastructure for radicalization and large scale infrastructure for training.
The criminals in this case are not a few individuals.
The role of Saudi Arabia and neighbouring country at the south & west of Inida in the whole issue of Jihadi terrorism is well documented, that trails from the days of Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
Response of the world community to this Jihadi terror has not been decisive, largely due to American and British game plans in the region, that would like to see a slow but sure balkanization of the region, while retaining its hold on Pakistan.
In case of India, the response to the acts of terror has so far been painfully inadequate.
The head of the snake of terrorism must be crushed, in order to stem the wave of terror that are spreading fast.
It is time to respond decisively by hitting hard, the nations that provide lifeline to global terrorism.
