The recent operation of executing the worlds most wanted terrorist is a feather in the cap of the President of the USA, Barack Obama. Many of is thought that the USA had lost its will in a battle of wits with Islamic terror, But this episode where the special commandos of the United States Navy in conjunction with the CIA carried out a daring operation, is a lesson in the art of power politics.
Credit for this operation must go to Obama who belled the cat.
Earlier operations of a similar nature like the plan to rescue the US Hostages in Iran had Backfired in 1980. But this did not weigh down Obama who ordered the surgical strike.Hence all credit must go to Obama who as the Chief executive of the USA had a onerous responsibility on his shoulders. A failure would have brought an end to his re-election for a second term.
Obama did not blink an eye during the entire operation which was telecast live before him and it is to his credit he made a statement that we are not at war with the Muslim world. India and other countries can take a leaf out of Obama book and show resolve in apprehending terrorists and criminals, though they be shielded by nations, like Laden was by Pakistan.
This is certainly a moment of triumph and all the credit must go to one man-Barack Obama. I for one congratulate him and hope that the Indian leadership can bring in the international terrorist Dawood Ibrahim also given a haven in Pakistan like Osama.
