Indian Express hails Dr. Singh's call that Naxals prove their popularity through the test of democracy.
We like Dr. Singh and his call sounds reasonable but it reflects an enduring naivete of the Indian soul -- that even such rabid killers as the Naxals can be rehabilitated in the broader sweep of our all-embracing democracy.
We strongly dissent with this view. Only smash-mouth strategies work with these monsters. They don't care about our democracy -- they've got a mafia-like extortion racket working that brings them money, guns, publicity, criminal power, and other very material things. If they were to settle their so-called grudges, where does it leave them and the elaborate terrorist lives they've built for themselves?
Dr. Singh, pick up the gun -- please quit exhorting these animals to become human.

PR,
Right on the mark. Contrary to popular perception (romantic yet foolish), Naxalites and other thougs are not misguided "angry young men", but people with a vicious agenda to subvert our nation.
PR, you are right on the money about what should be done with Naxals. However, it is baffling how we can go on condoning such blunders, just because Dr Singh is a man of 'integrity'?
Remember that the Congress govt in AP has all but caved in to these murderers, and is in fact, in an enduring honeymoon with them. TDP workers and suspected police informers alike have been murdered with impunity. Is Singh unaware of this? Or is this a policy that is being dictated by Sonia Gandhi and company (with lots of crap advice, no doubt)? The last time I went home (to an Orissa town on the AP border), a shop-keeper was shot to death from point blank range as he was suspected to be an informer.
Sorry, no clean chit for our PM anymore - he's just becoming plain incapable now, even if it's not because of his own doing. He's got to get tough, or step aside.
