One year ago this Thursday, 10 gunmen wreaked havoc across Mumbai. The targets they attacked included two world-class hotels, a café popular with foreign tourists, the headquarters of India's Central Railways, and a Orthodox Jewish center. One hundred and thirty-eight Indians were killed in the attacks, and 28 foreign nationals lost their lives as well. It took almost 60 hours before commandos from India's National Security Guards killed the last of the remaining terrorists. One of the gunmen was captured in the early hours of the attack. Muhammad Ajmal Amir Kasab admitted to being a member of the Pakistani Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, one of the most powerful militant groups in South Asia. Pakistani promises to dismantle the group in the wake of the Mumbai attacks remain unfulfilled. A year later Lashkar remains a potent force, capable of striking Indian as well as Western targets.
Lashkar's rise was facilitated by the Pakistani government, which supported the group's participation in the insurgency in Indian-controlled Kashmir. After the Sept. 11 attacks in Washington and New York, Lashkar took pains to present itself as a purely Kashmir-focused organization, but its interests are much broader. Although India has remained its primary target, Lashkar began waging a peripheral jihad against the West soon after 9/11. It has been involved in terrorist plots against Western targets and several years ago began deploying fighters to engage coalition forces in Afghanistan.

Support an Indian invasion, takeover and desolution of the world's most dangerous failed State, Pakistan.
How could India’s 9/11 happen? By denying it ever could. By the world community deluding itself into believing that Islam is first of all a religion and believing its peaceful. America deluded itself the same way, in spite of 2/26/93. Remember that? That was the first attack on The World Trade Center which the Clinton Administration treated as a criminal matter instead of an act of war. The Obama Administration is conducting itself the same way by bringing the animals to New York for trial. These Leftists aren’t interested in ‘’justice’’, certainly not for those murdered on 9/11. They’re only interested in window-dressing for the sake of the masses. Their intent is to destroy America. Can anyone prove me wrong?
Support an Indian invasion, takeover and desolution of the world's most dangerous failed State, Pakistan.
And what would we do with these 230 million crazies? Let them try to take over the whole of India? This is precisely what they want.
No, the solution is not changing the course of history, but getting to the root of the Paki problem - unflinching, no real questions asked - American support , economic and military.
Will any American president bite the bullet?
Just waiting to happen here.
What is the root of the Pakistan problem?
