I guess one would conclude that about the U.S. after 9/11 as well.
Not the same. I am speaking of AFTER the attacks. On day 3, during their "seige" of the Jewish center, Indian police could be seen shooting into the windows of the compound indiscriminately, and with no attempt at accuracy, while a helicopter hovered for 4 minutes overhead before officers rappelled to the roof below. Was this their idea of the element of surprise?
Also It took them 4 days to secure the Taj, during which time, untold additional victims were killed. This is a nation with a history of terror attacks. A nuclear power. Just shocking what keystone cops tactics were utilized.
