Supreme decisiveness vs Sickening indecisiveness

Hello ppl

Too verbose a title!!! Well.....could not think of anything else to compare 2 nations' reactions to the same external stimuli. One, a nation of hardly a million people and a size not to be too proud of... and the other, an international behemoth... the cynosure of all eyes..... The world's fastest growing economy and largest democracy..... The stimulus - the same - meaningless terrorism.... For all the Einstein's who have not guessed it yet, I am talking about India and Israel.

Israel - One of the smallest countries in the world and also one of the newest countries in the world (Independence 1960s). Their only claim to the land that they are settled on is that their founding father Abraham bought that piece of land centuries ago for 400 silver coins. Surrounded on all sides by formidable enemies in Palestine, Egypt, Syria etc. Located in one of the most volatile regions in the world......
India - A global behemoth, the largest democracy in the world, a culture that has remained unchanged over more than 10000 yrs... established social structures, an economic powerhouse et al... Only major formidable enemy - Pakistan
Pakistan, Palestine - 2 examples of rogue states whose basis of survival is sponsor of terrorism and whose claim to fame is continual neglect and feigned ignorance of international norms.

The Reactions post attacks from the respective stimuli....
Day 1 (T+1) - Israeli government condemns the attack even as the air force starts aerial strikes in Gaza. In India, we start our discussion......
T + 2 - Israel continues the aerial strikes while no foreign power except France condemns the attacks. In India, we continue our discussion.....
T + 3 - Israel starts to launch ground attacks at Gaza... Troops move in to take control over Gaza and start moving towards the southern border. In India, we continue our discussion...
And so it goes on...... Israel keeps doing what they need to do while keeping the international community at a distance and we keep discussing......

I am tempted to compare similar reactions at Entebbe vis-a-vis Kandahar......

What comes out starkly is that we as a country, as an economy lack the balls(apologies for the language) to take any decision whatsoever...... It sickens me to realize that probably 3 yrs down the line when I write my blog, India would still be discussing the military option!!!!

What a joke!!!!!
