What do we do?

I have a few questions. Why does our country get attacked year after year, and nothing ever gets done? Why don’t the politicians take a stand against this problem? And why do innocent Nun’s get raped and children get torched in the name of religion? Why?

So, it should come as no surprise why I have been feeling extremely angry these last couple of days. I'm pissed that this country is becoming such a soft target for terrorists. On the one hand you have America and its 9-11. It’s been seven years since that day, and they’ve not had a single incident since then. Then on the other hand, you have India. But I guess India is different. Where else have all the slime balls of society managed to get elected to office, year after year? The complete apathy of these politicians has resulted in all the terrorists feeling that they can come to India anytime they want do as they please. No one is going to do a thing.

And all that the politician will do is condemn the attack, talk insincerely about the sacrifices that the security personnel have made, and finally declare a useless reward or medal for the families of the dead. Then they’ll conveniently forget the whole episode; coming out again when the next incident happens, and this drama will repeat. How much longer will this go on?

Strangely, this one time, the two major parties don’t seem to slinging much mud at each other. But don’t let that fool you. Mr. Advani was quoted on TV to have said that when they were in power, the blasts were not of the same magnitude. Excuse me Mr. Advani; are you saying that you had a way of controlling how much damage the terrorists caused? If you did, why didn’t you stop those incidents from happening in the first place? Get serious man! Stop thinking about getting into the PM’s chair - before you die - and do the nation one good thing before you go. And no, your book doesn’t count.

And this is what I have to tell all those useless, white-shirt-clad idiots- Get serious! Do the job that you’ve been elected to do. To the prime minister- pop a Viagra before you address the nation. Better still- find someone with a stronger voice to voice-over for you.

Funny thing is Shiv ettan and I were talking the same thing regarding the comparison between how the US has dealt with things post 9/11 and how the Indian govt has historically dealt with things. In India, the elected officials care a fuck about the country, it's more about who has the chair. And any constitutional changes to improve the security of the nation lies under the rubble of their personal aspirations. The BJP is taking out ads in the paper to vote for them? Fuck, I wouldn't vote for them just on the basis of their mentality to gain some political ground by leveraging this event. While they are fighting for top billing, our police officials are supposed to face terrorists without bulletproof vests, and with rifles which probably were bought/ made in the 60's, and get meagre salaries for all this, while facing terrorists with auto/ semi-auto weapons? Where's our tax money going? It's time that the politicians are held accountable for the mess they've got our country into!!

And someone please kick Advani in his nuts.......i.e. if he's got any! Son of a Bitch did nothing during the Gujarat riots, and he has the nerve to speak now? Don't forget that you are where you are now due to the people ---- and even if you are not an elected official, you are still accountable for what you say, and what you've done so far - you conniving old cock-sucker!

i dunno if i really care about these politicians. if they have a vision it seems it is only towards their betterment. i think its really up to ordinary citizens like us to continually raise our voices against these idiots, force them into action. at the same time, do our own bit in whatever small ways possible. at grass root levels, we have to endorse tolerance & faith in our oneness as humans, and encourage all around us to do the same.
