Again i repeat an indian can only feel the pain and loss of indian soldier, not a sailor from OZ or a capstar from GB. Gandhigiri doesnt work especially with Pakistan! How sailor will react if pakistan sponsored terrorists trigger serial blasts in sydney,perth,melbourne,canberra ......Anyhow, since its my responsibility to reply i have posted my response.
Firstly I'd like to thank the senior chaps and the admins for allowing this thread to continue. You are Indians and this thread is a microcosm of the actual situation that you live with. If you live with terrorism, then you aren't going to sweep it under the carpet by banning or stifling discussion about it. Terrorism is the most extreme form of racial abuse possible and a few words on here are but dust in the larger scheme of things.
Venkat is exactly right about how Aussies would behave in a terrorist attack on our country. I can tell you now that we would go right off.
Now, there are about 300000 peoples from various countries of the Islamic faith living in Australia. At the time of 911 and ever since, these people have been living in fear of what will happen to them if one of their hot heads carries out a terrorist attack on Australian soil. Oh yes there are hot heads here and radical clergy who preach that our girls are just meat on show to rape and to carry out Allah's punishments on them. These families are very frightened at what will happen if such a thing occurs, particularly after they saw the reaction against the Lebanese youth gangs in Sydney.
Fortunately it hasn't happened and they are gradually settling into the Australian way of life. However even here it will take a generation to bring their women out of slavery.
Venkat, I don't know who you are are and I have been trying to work it out, as you deviate a lot. At first I thought that you were from Pakistan, but the flags tell me otherwise. What your religion is, is still a mystery to me but I am sure the young Indians on here know and an Australian has no idea.
However I think that you are displaying the guts to say what you feel and further to be struggling to say it in English is admirable. That must be very difficult and your passionate ideals on the problem for your country come across to others as ill manners. I think that this is not your actual intention.
This brings me to our attitude here in Australia. We hardly know what to think up there in the sub continent. In fact it isn't really any business for our soldiers to be up there at all and one has to Analise the reason that this is so.
We are there because the US and NATO are there. Why are they there?
What if we all went home Venkat? Is that what you want? Because there are a lot of people in the West that think that all this money can be spent at home and not blown away in a lost cause up there.
What would happen if we did go home and leave it as just the business of the local peoples? ie India, Pakistan,etc.
We all know what would happen. Either nothing or nuclear war.
So there we are Yenkat. Australian, US and European soldiers all go up there to fight terrorists and try and stabilize the region as we are immune from nuclear attack because of our own power.
Finally that leaves the West with two options in Pakistan.
1] Try and train them to fix their own country. Which we are doing.
2] Invade Pakistan and install a new government like we did in Iraq.
We all know that is so far fetched it won't happen. Our governments are all war weary about any more Iraqs.
