why chg frm " main jindagi ka saath nibhata chula gaya "

I hope this Akbar guy is not the smartest or brightest India has to offer. He is , like many muslim commentators, so blinded by his hatred and dislike of the US - that he is willing to ignore the path of destruction chosen by muslims.
As far as his views on Missiles is concerned - they are completely ill-informed.
Actually, on another Indian blog/forum (Bharat Rakshak) there are several Indians who are infinitely smarter than this guy and write some pretty compelling stuff . Some of them even have a refreshing sense of humor (a guy called N3 is wicked )

i agree with Zathras - one wonders what this journalist is trying to write about ? Or comment on..? Or take sides maybe ..or just filling a blog !

If Mr. Akbar is a leading Indian journalists, then the ones following him must be in pretty sad shape.

No one is talking about hitting a flying Taepodong with a cruise missile, especially not Perry and Carter. A cruise missile cannot intercept objects in flight except by accident. Perry and Carter discussed instead the option of destroying North Korea's ICBM on the ground before it was launched. If we know where the launch pad is, we can hit it with cruise missiles; it isn't a question of testing their accuracy.

Theoretically, a ballistic missile can be intercepted and destroyed in flight by a missile defense system. Reliance on missile defense was specifically counseled against by Perry and Carter; their point was that the data North Korea would acquire through conducting a launch test would further an ICBM program whether the missile landed on its own or not.
