I can't understand though how 10 gunmen caused such mayhem over such a long period of time without any real police action. I thought the police in the train station were a disgrace. Also how come there was no security presence in these top 5 star hotels? It was awful listening to the survivors telling their stories.

I too was baffled by the lack of a rapid reaction force in India - while it might be a developing country / third word etc, India can no longer ignore its importance in world political area, and how much of a sitting duck they are for Islamic terrorists. In fact I was even more surprised that with such clear and convincing evidence at hand, why did it take them so long to get some co-operation out of Pakistan? Indian PR mechanism must be really cr*p - otherwise they could have staged an honest international conference and could have easily cornered Pakistan into doing all they can to get rid of the militia organizations. While 'Islamic Militancy' is new to West, India has been fighting this since 1989 (I think). World didn't listen because India was on the wrong side (Russia) and Americans were too busy funding and training Taliban to fight the evil "commies". Sigh..!!
