Why do not India do an Israel?

This is one question that is there in my mind after the lebanon attack by Israel. I had all sort of consipiracy theories in my mind about how Us and the other world will react etc etc....

Gaurav a superb blogger who I read regularly offers a very different picture/opinion

Do read the blog....Some interesting observations from his blog...

I feel there is a bigger problem at hand that is being ignored. Before we pleasure ourselves with fantasies of inflicting punishment on Masood Azhar and Hafiz Sayed, we need to ask why the termites within are being ignored. No one seems to be asking how dare the Kerala assembly pass a resolution to release Madani, a man accused of a terror attack, just for political benefits? No one seems to be asking how Ram Vilas Paswan, a man who actually ran a campaign saying "Only a Muslim should be the Bihar CM" never got the criticism and even the abuse he deserved? Can you imagine what the reaction would be if a politician said "Only a Hindu should be a CM of a state?". Why is Mulayam Singh Yadav able to get away with giving a clean chit to the very organisation against which his own police departments have gathered evidence?

He says politicians all over the world are just driven by one thing - getting elected. The Americans and Israelis go on an attack because they know that their electorates care enough about security and safety to vote out someone they think compromises on those things. It's not that their politicians are made of sterner stuff. Their public has a low threshold for getting blown to bits on their way to work.

I was wondering is this not true??? What did India do after the Mumbai train attack...a big speech by our Prime Minister after 3 days...

I don't want to go further...Do read the blog.
