This is what I call the xenopathic profit motive, it is probably a unconscious reflex. The people that create organizations in order to "Protect" their ethnic group from oppression, find that their power revolves around the oppression of their people. So when major progress comes about to resolve the situation which they were created to resolve; the leaders see their power base eroding and have to create more conflict in order to justify their existence.

George Bush is a very good example of this. In the early stages of the Iraqi insurrection he did absolutely nothing. The question we have to ask is why? It is simple in that his popularity and his fathers were very high when there was major conflicts and wars. There is no reason to achieve any goals because the GOAL was to create the conflict and that was the goal in the first place; so a endless war only aids those in power.

Amanpour: Violence comes at crucial time

Chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour spoke about the situation.

CNN: An attack this large, this sophisticated, and carried out with no warning could have come from inside India, maybe, maybe outside, maybe a neighboring state could be involved. We turn to Christiane Amanpour. What do you hear?

Christiane Amanpour: Well, Tom, this is the worst attack in India in the last 20 years, where Islamic militants have been stepping up their assaults on Mumbai, which is not just the center of its filmmaking but the economic and financial hub of India.

They have often blamed terror attacks on Islamic militants based in Pakistan. Some, they say, are concerned about, for instance, Indian rule over Kashmir. Al Qaeda also has threatened to attack India in revenge for its policies.

Very, very interestingly, this comes at a time when the new president of Pakistan has, in fact, gone further than any previous Pakistani leader in saying they want to improve relations with India, in saying they want to jointly combat terrorism together. The Pakistani president even went so far as saying he would consider renouncing a nuclear strike on India.

This is a very confused situation. Although some group has claimed responsibility, nobody knows the motive yet.

We have seen this all before...

Irish Civil War

• • Conflict in Ireland from 1922 to 1923 resulting from a split in the Irish nationalist Sinn Fein movement over whether to accept the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. The treaty ended the Irish Revolution (1912-1922) against British rule and established the Irish Free State

After a half of a millennium of oppression, Michael Collins (Irish leader)  was able to achieve a swift victory (as far as insurgencies go) and his own people killed him for achieving the goals which his organization was designed for and shortly after even more conflict kept soldiers employed for a very long time. That happens with in every movement to a greater or lesser degree and that is what modern Technological societies have to develop in order to maintain the peace.

Hopefully the Indian government realizes and adapts their tactics accordingly.

..................The large majority of fidayeen attacks in Kashmir were perpetrated by one such organisation, the Lashkar-e-Toiba, headquartered in Pakistan and founded and led by Pakistani religious radicals. ..........The gunmen who attacked two luxury hotels, and a fashionable cafe frequented by visiting Westerners, have brought the "war" - as they see it - to India's elite class, and to affluent Westerners living in or visiting India's most cosmopolitan city.................
