Ruh Roh, Hraggy!
INDIA:Overpopulated? Check.
Mass poverty? Check.
Heterogeneous cultures that polarize? Check.
Enormous political upheaval? Check.
Nukes? Check.
Cold-to-occasional-shooting-war with neighbor? Check.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again about the Subcontinent: "Tick. Tick. Tick. . . "
They've got the Taj Mahal Hotel and hostages, and have performed a widespread attack.
Expect heavy reprisals and crackdowns by the Indian government, which should cause a backlash by the people, which is exactly what their domestic terrorists want.

I have to wonder, if the investigators discover ties to the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies, what will India's response be?
What will the US response be? Will we duck in and snatch the Pakistani nukes? We haven't paid much attention to Pakistan's so-called territorial sovereignty to date.
I'm glad to see our relations with India improving. I've always thought that we had more in common with India than Pakistan.
It's gonna get ugly.
