Stop Blaming...Start Cleaning!!!

It's amazing..isn't it?Pakistan continues to change its tune very frequently.It was the ISI chief first, then the issue of Kasab's nationality, JuD and most recently, Masood Azhar.It is now apparent that they are not going to act...so what happens next? Some people advocate the military option, but that would be akin to suicide. That is what the terrorists want us to do, and also what the rouge elements in the Pakistani establishment responsible for 26/11 want us to do. This is on account of two reasons;the most obvious being that the threat of a confrontation with India would lead to the Pakistanis withdrawing from the Afghan border.Secondly,such machismo has never produced the desired results...Iraq and Afghanistan are a case in point.
The only realistic option before the country is to strengthen its intelligence and continue to apply diplomatic pressure on Pakistan...not because Pakistan will buckle,but because it would send a message to the terrorists.Some good would have come out of the tragedy that is 26/11 if long overdue change is brought to this country.And change needs to start from within the aam admi.It is no use blaming politicians;we vote them to power.Their inefficiency is bad judgement from our part.There are many good leaders in this country..we will find them if we are sincere.Blaming Pakistan is going to get us nowhere.It is time we started wielding the broomstick and cleaning our house.Our Cynical attitude to life must stop.Tragedies will continue as long as this characteristic feature is not eliminated.All of us have a stake in what happens around us.We must not complain about corruption...it continues only because we give in.If all of us make a solemn promise to ourselves that we will not give in,i believe the levels of corruption will go down drastically.This is just one example of how we must change.We must learn to respect the law.Only then will our politicians respect us.Till then,we must not crib,moan,scream about how things will never improve.It is time we went back to the belief around which Indian Independence was won....Be The Change You Want To See.....
