Off-topic Post: War on terrorism

Warning: This post is off-topic and not related to Personal Finance and Investment. Its contains my personal opinion, not facts.

I was reading this wikipedia article: War on Terrorism

If you go to India section of this article, it lists down the terrorist attacks that have happened in India after 9/11. I am reproducing the list here:

* The 2001 Indian Parliament attack.
* Akshardham Temple attack.
* 29 October 2005 Delhi bombings.
* 2005 Ram Janmabhoomi attack in Ayodhya.
* 2005 Jaunpur train bombing.
* 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings.
* 2006 Varanasi bombings.
* The 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings.
* Hyderabad bombings.
* Jaipur bombings.
* Bangalore bombings.
* 2008 Ahemdabad bombings.
* 13 September 2008 Delhi bombings.
* 2008 Assam bombings.
* And the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

If you happen you visit the USA section of this article, one line is sufficient to describe what happened in USA after 9/11
"To date, no attacks by Islamic terrorists on the US homeland have been successful since September 11, 2001."

Okay, I'm not discussing the moral or political aspects of this issue, but in my opinion USA has achieved what it had set out to do very effectively.

Meanwhile for us here in India the clock is ticking. The last attack was on Mumbai and we can't do anything but wait for the next one.
