Why don't we still act

Yet another attack more vicious than before in Mumbai and we will hear the same platitudes. While the brave policemen are dying why don't we prosecute that clown who goes as our home minister for criminal dereliction of duty?
Its time the President sacks this government for failing to execute its prime duty of protecting the life and liberty of citizens. Heads of IB chief and those responsible for preventing such attacks should roll for such brazen incompetence.
28/11
IB needs a thorough revamp. Its top brasses should all be sacked for incompetence, not just the head. Same goes for RAW for if the attacks emanated from Pakistan, RAW should have been tracking it. The NSA needs to explain what was he doing all this time before being summarily dismissed.
Its easy to blame Pakistan and probably ISI did help these guys. But lets separate Pakistan from its army and more specifically ISI. If ISI indeed this play a part, we must now declare it a terrorist organisation and work to have other countries like USA/UK/France/China also do so. If that happens Pakistan army will be forced to disband ISI since well army only exists because US etc gives Pakistan huge aid and arm which the army corners.
Everytime there are attacks and same old platitudes by those who matter. Its time we see some very tough action. And if Manmohan Singh is not courageous enough to act, let him be dismissed too.
The NSG always airlifts from Delhi? Why cant super important cities like Mumbai/Chennai can't have permanent NSG units? Why did NSG come so late? I remember watching a Discovery/nat Geo program on an earlier plane hijack where the local police (and it was a very well trained Punjab police then) wanted to storm the plane but were asked not too since NSG is the units trained to handle such situations. And it took 3 hours for NSG to come to Amritsar where the plane was parked. Meanwhile the hijackers forced the plane to leave which eventually landed in Afganistan and India release many terrorists in ransom. And the NSA in charge then who took these insane decision one Mr Brijesh Mishra never had to answer for his idiocy and went on being a celebrated think tank for BJP!
Apparently we have not learnt those lessons as yet as we never do because our rulers are kings ruling by divine right and they can never be wrong. At this rate though sooner or later patience will break and people will take justice in their own hands ala the movie Wednessday. The clown going as the home minister and his minders are apparently great scholars. They do well to revise their history of French revolution for if the public patience breaks, that'll what it be and he and his minders the Mary Antoinette.
