I and Shivraj had a detailed discussion on the idiot factor today. Each terrorist attack in India is rated with an idiot factor which measures how stupid we were before, during and after the attack. As you know. idiot is the superlative term for a fool.
Quite honestly, the idiot factor for the 28/11 attack on Mumbai is low. The terrorist came across the border and Mumbai police does not even know where Islamabad is located. As far as the idiot factor goes, the train attacks in Mumbai and the serial blast in other cities like Ahmadabad have a higher Idiot factor. With more than 100 people discussing planting bombs our police did not
know something is brewing.

These attacks on Taj and Oberoi have an higher "virtual" Idiot factor. The type of targets, the type of people killed and the style gives this a higher virtual rating. Our media is giving this an extremely high idiot factor which is likely to make me loose the elections.
Also while assigning this attack very high on the idiot factor they are also out Modi bashing. What is wrong with the mascot of anti terrorism from BJP to visit the location of attack? Nothing. In fact he may empower the already biased Mumbai police into some action. But I am so glad that I have NDTV and CNN IBN on my side. No one has called my speech lackadasical, meanigless and devoid of emotion. They did not call Bush stupid till 3 years after 9/11.
Finally, when are we going to ask the toughest question? Is it possible for a religion to fail? What role does the world and human right activists have in transforming a religion which is unwilling to be a part of the society?
As a Secular Sardarji Economist Prime Minister I have one question to ask myself...if I have to racially profile people to stop terrorist, should I?
