I've Been Thinking:

Russia has just offered to help India battle against terror.
Real help, by providing intelligence updates.

This type of help from Russia could prove invaluable for India.
Russia gathers an enormous amount of intel in Pakistan from sources scattered throughout the various regions.
India has a hard task ahead.
Confronting the extremist Islamic element that is bent on wreaking havoc on the country and that demands the total capitulation of India will not be easy.

Having the information is important, but it is the next stage that is critical.
What does India do with the information?

The United States warned India of an impending attack on Mumbai by sea.
They warned that the attackers would target tourists and high profile Western hangouts including hotels.
But India instituted no changes, not in security and not in vigilance.

Certainly, we must all pitch in to confront murderous terrorists.
But that is just one step in the process.
Following up and follow through is extremely critical in preventing future attacks.
In the end, each country is on its own.
