In the days after the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai there has been a rush to judgment. The attacks were different from previous attacks in South Asia in that they targeted the elite, the upper classes, and tourists. The spotlight has shifted now to India and how they'll respond. Larger questions about India's relations with Pakistan, U.S. foreign policy, and the “war on terror” have also been raised. How should India respond and as Condoleeza Rice heads to the region what does the U.S. have to offer?

Tariq Ali, author of The Duel: Pakistan on the Flight Path of American Power, Ali Mir, an Associate Professor at William Paterson University, and Achin Vanaik, a Professor of International Relations and Global Politics at Delhi University discuss why the rush to judgment is dangerous and why comparisons to 9/11 are ominous.
