I would have preferred to have been proven wrong on this one. But I’m feeling pretty vindicated in my December 13th prediction that the terrorist attack on the Indian parliament would end up being a much bigger deal than the “bin Laden tape, the supposed severing of ties between Israel and Arafat, or US pulling out of the ABM treaty.” This stand-off in South Asia could really scarcely be more serious. More on this in an opinion column to run tomorrow.
