Something more that makes little sense and is part of the all round growing madness:

Monday, October 16, 2006 (Aurangabad): BJP President Rajnath Singh has said that India should rethink its diplomatic relations with Pakistan. Moreover, he has also suggested that India should ask the international community to declare that country as a "rogue" state for its continuous fomenting of cross border terrorism. The inquiry report of July 11 blasts has clearly pointed towards Pakistan's role in helping the terrorists, said Singh. He said India should take diplomatic steps to bring the terrorist activities of Pakistan under international watch and persuade the world community to declare it as a "rogue" country. There is no question of holding dialogue with Pakistan unless that
country stops cross-border terrorism, Singh said. The BJP chief alleged that after UPA government assumed power, both the internal as well as external security of the country were in danger. About North Korean nuclear tests, Singh said it was necessary to check whether ISI and disgraced Pakistani nuclear scientist AQ Khan passed on the nuclear technology to that country and whether
al-Qaida or terrorist organizations had also got hold of the recipe for making atomic bombs. (PTI)

Since when have we got the right to decide what other countries should be called or not... How can we decide which country needs to be under surveillance and what "threat" it poses to the world???
Well, if we do then maybe, we also need to look into what exactly are we doing within our country and to our neighbors!
We are responsible to a large extent for the violence in Sri Lanka, and our decision to remain passive commentators and supple arms to Nepal ha caused enough trouble already.
Pakistan is 1/3 rd the size of our country and has half the support we do so why and how can we behave threatened unless we have a hand to play in the whole issue?
And after Afghanistan and Iraq can't we see the 'world' seems to stand only for United States of America?!!!
And after resolving not to be part of the arms race, soon after our independence, as a show of power we did conduct nuclear tests in early 90s that led to Pakistan's need to show its nuclear capabilities...
Of course all that was justified cause our majority religious identity (Hindu) does not automatically define us as a threat or a terrorist; forgetting LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam) is the biggest terrorist organization in the world...
But after WTC the 'world' would of course have us believe otherwise and we are more than happy to comply...
I don't understand how can we (the media) even give space to such statements on public platforms without any criticism or alternate perspective... When it is an explanation for the innocence of *Gilani we cannot present it without the other side, but this we can let pass under the garb of balanced objective "reporting"!!!

*A Lawyer Activist of the Supreme Court wrote a detailed article on the Gilani case. She presented only the facts and discrepancies in the evidence as brought out during the trial… while keeping her personal judgment or statements out and stating only the facts of the case. But the article was not published because by then we had become a part of the ‘global war on terror’ and could not go back on our assumption of all Muslims being terrorists. The article was published after much debate in one of the more popular national newspapers on the condition that another article on Gilani’s guilt be published along side. One must thank god that Gilani was acquitted although a large part of the country’s population still believes he was guilty. They believe so because we the media had enough interest and time to prove him guilty but not to show his Court declared innocence.
