Nobody ordinary has the exact information so none can give it to you. However, as a first step let the powers that be and by that I mean the people in the know come out and tell the nation who is behind the tragedy, the executioners, the planners, the aiders and the abettors, exactly in the same words as the ISAF commander was told.
Such an operation cannot be done alone by a single group and it has to have supporters of many kind. Let us stop lying to our people and tell the truth about whoever is involved in this dastardly attack. I would point the finger at the Afghan government or some agency of it and of course India’s intelligence agency RAW.
Let us stop drumming about US interests and that of other Western countries, look at your neighbours and see how their interests are also served by such like incidents.
Let us behave like a nuclear nation and call a spade a spade. An attack on Afghan soil to target and kill the perpetrators is fully justified and must be undertaken and do not think about sovereignty. After all we have endured drones and attacks in the same cause being a sovereign country.
STAND UP TO THESE RASCALS AND KILL THOSE WHO KILL YOUR OWN WHEREVER YOU CAN FIND THEM, THIS OR THAT SIDE OF THE BORDER. THE WORLD OF TODAY UNDERSTANDS THE LANGUAGE OF FORCE ONLY.
THIS IS NOT AN EMOTIONAL OUTBURST BUT A WELL THOUGHT OUT COURSE OF ACTION.
