		<description>Here is my Hypothesis of how the Mumbai terrorist attack was made possible:
The Pakistan Marine Agency has been kidnapping and capturing Indian fishing vessels for the last 5 years. Look at this news link:
http://www.hvk.org/articles/0603/176.html
Pakistan then puts these kidnapped fishermen into jail and periodically decides to either release them or to keep them languishing in jail depending on whether it wants to take favors from India to release its citizens languishing in Indian jails for much more heinous crimes.

The Indian government has done nothing, zilch, nada in the last many years to take care of the above situation. 

The terrorists apparently took this situation a step further. They took the help of the Pakistan Marine Agency 

to kill/kidnap and hijack an Indian fishing trawler. Next they loaded up the vessel with explosives and 
grenades manufactured in Pakistani factories. Finally they entered Mumbai (with all their prior research and review of the cities famous landmarks and their floor plans) and launched these attacks.

Conclusion: The above goes to show that there are several factors leading to this tragedy:
1) the lackadaisical attitude of the government in dealing firmly with Pakistan
2) the apathy of Indian citizens who were happy to be tolerant and look the other way
3) the absence of policing security and law system that protects the citizenry proactively
4) the lack of political will to impose strong laws - the Congress is a leader on this
5) the willingness to negotiate with terrorists - the BJP created a horrible precedent during the Indian 
Airlines hijacking incident few years ago
6) the lack of cool self-assessment of what India&#039;s strengths and weaknesses are in the security and law/order area
7) opening up of borders with Pakistan - a country that is predominantly lawless and where the government only pretends to govern. We have spent too much time trying to build a relationship with a government that cannot control its internal environment
8) ignoring the dangers posed by allowing Pakistanis to enter Indian territory by air, land and water without realizing the dangers it would pose to Indian lives
9) constant interference in the functioning of the defence forces by the Indian government
10) not investing in intelligence, security and training that is world class to ensure that the police can deal with such incidents
11) agnostic Indian citizen psyche that refuses to get united and is happy in living in denial untill they are not personally attacked
12) a citizenry that does not hold its politicians responsible for their actions.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;All this is, however, entirely fitting as fireworks for the premiere of a film centred around the legend that is George Bush.&lt;/i&gt;

The death of 80 people and injury to 250 others while a 100 police officers put their lives on the line to fight a bunch of insane morons wreaking havoc is all just fireworks for a film(whatever be the content of the film)? 

Very nice.</description>
