Of conditional apologies & a prayer

Per media, Mr.A of Kerala has apologised with the statement "IF my statements have hurt the martyr's family, I apologise".
IF? First, you refused to apologize. Now, you are apologizing with an 'IF'? You, Mr.A are a disgrace to the nation, even in your apology.


On a separate note, Pakistan has allegedly 'snubbed' India by not cooperating with the terror list. I feel media keeps using insulting words 'slapped, snubbed' (so does one chocolate face politician), to get more viewership, capitalizing on the high emotion and anger running around.. But my sincere prayer is that, the decision makers in the Govt., don't react hasitly against Pakistan. USA is entirely on our side this time, let's make use of that. Paksitan may be waiting for us to do something hasty (wage a war?) and further harm our peace and order situation. The worst that can happen to a country in the middle of a economic slowdown, is a war. So, people at the top, ignore those words, and take your time strategizing.
