Mumbai is limping back to normal. The Indians are shellshocked that the United States forewarned their leaders about a potential attack on Mumbai from the sea, yet they made no preparations to stall these attacks or to protect ordinary citizens and businesses. The politicians in Delhi are spineless and corrupt. They surround themselves with police for protection and sycophants to boost their egos.
The Indians are stuck with two bad choices: The Congress Party that has enervated federal anti-terror laws and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with its connections to the RSS, a Hindu extremist group. The Congress Party is more intent on discrediting the BJP than protecting the citizens of India. The BJP waits in the wings to ride back to power like a knight in shining armor. The Muslim marauders of Mumbai gave the BJP the perfect opportunity to blame the Congress Party for the swagger of Islamic terror across India.
