Listen...
If India needs to take out the Maoist "Gyanendra style", we would have by now crushed the Maoists like bugs albiet with bloodshed a few hundred times the scale what Gyanendra and his RNA can even dream of. The Maoists dont have even half as good equipments as Pakistani mujahedeens and without the support from local grassroot politicians (both Nepali and Indian) the Maoists are close to nothing.

The fact that we "dont", suggest that its not our "style". Too bad you dont like it. We first give our adversary a chance to mend their ways. We have carried out dialog with many terrorists groups in the past and we do so even now. We are currently having dialogs with groups like the NSCN(IN)/Muiwah and the HC. Under the BJP we had even gone a step ahead to declare unilateral cease fire against the Pakistani terrorists to initiate a dialog process. We even engaged them in a process to get them integrated into the mainstream. We even allowed the Islamic militants a chance to surrender with offer of jobs, rehabilitation and better future. We even allowed anti-India Kashmiri terrorists groups to run for elections in Kashmir. We have done all we could believeing that violence should be the last option and we did so because we are a democratic country and we are not the same as the terrorists, or at least...... so that nobody can say we didnt try to do the right thing.

But dont even for a second assume that to be "passive support for terrorists". When time came we dealt with the terrorists in the most merciless manner imaginable. Remeber operation Blue Star? Remember punitive military action North East? Remember Sri Lanka? Maldives? Remember Bangladesh 1971? Remember Kargil 1999? Remember Kashmir oprations? Doda, Sopore, Rajuri, Poonch, Uddhampur and Hill Kaka operatons?

Gyanendra needs to learn how to deal with terrorists and how to deal with ordinary civilians. If not, we will be there to teach.

And another thing, dont blame all of India for the acts of a few local politicians, dont forget the politicians on the Nepali side arn't so clean either. Nepalis should remember that before they instinctively blame India for everything, true to their anti-India nature and their massive collective anti-India chip on their shoulders.

We have done all we could believeing that violence should be the last option and we did so because we are a democratic country and we are not the same as the terrorists, or at least...... so that nobody can say we didnt try to do the right thing.

Are you dense? That was the WRONG thing to do. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.

Can we give war a chance please?
