The US administration on the [tag]Mumbai Bomb Blasts [/tag] – why are they called [tag] 7/11 [/tag]? is our desire to find symmetry so high that we ape the unfamiliar? – today:

I know there’s a lot of speculation out there now. That happens in these cases. But I think we need to be led by the evidence before we start trying to draw conclusions and make policy pronouncements on it,"US assistant secretary of state Richard Boucher said on Monday. .

At this point in time the evidence against terrorists using Pakistani soil to plan attacks India seems to be slightly higher than Iraq having WMD’s. While two wrongs don’t make a right, it is kind of hypocritical for the US administration to call for India to lay off blaming Pakistan on the one hand, and support the Israeli bombing of Lebanon on the other!
