“Pakistan, perhaps the world’s greatest victim of terrorism.... Let us be frank. Pakistan has paid an enormous price for its stand against terrorism.”  May3, 2011-05-09

“it is also true that incidents take place in Pakistan also. That Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism. These groups, whether it’s Lakhsar-e-Toiba or Jaish-e-Mohammad, they can act autonomously” Sep 11, 2006

Same thought, two speakers - guess who? The first was written by Pak President Zardari in a recent op-ed in the Washington Post. The second is a quote from a gentleman who originated the idea - our own venerable PM Dr Singh.

The USA has released documents that show the complicity of ISI in the Mumbai attacks. It makes Dr. Singh's willingness to "talk" to Pakistan - with no emphasis on them attempting to show remorse - much less take action against the perpetrators, even more inexplicable.

Dr. Singh's governments continues its focus on "hindu terrorists" rather than on those from across the borders. One can only conclude that perhaps Dr. Singh, when he was a little toddler, was nursed by a particularly ferocious member of the hindu community. After all they say that childhood trauma can leave deep scars!
