So India's home minister, Shivraj Patil, resigned in the wake of last week's attack. Explanation:
"As the political head of the Home Ministry, he just thought it appropriate to take responsibility," Manish Tiwari, Congress party spokesman, told the Financial Times.
This just goes to prove what an immature democracy India is. Doesn't this guy know that in a real democracy, the responsible government officials are supposed to try to bluster their way through such a mess, encourage leaks that point fingers at their predecessors, block any efforts at a full accounting of who's to blame and label anyone who disagrees with them unpatriotic? They clearly have a long way to go over there.
