I don't want India to do anything. I am simply making an observation that, right after 26/11, the Indian media was chest thumping about teaching a Pakistan a lesson, ala US in Afghanistan, but realized India could not pull it off. So now some Indians are living vicariously through the American action -- to see America do what India wishes it could.
I am not asking why India did not attack after 26/11. I am stating a fact that India did not, and does not, have that capability.
As for credit, it's better to have the Western media braying at us rather than to have terrorists blowing themsleves up in Pakistani cities. The Western media has never been particularly friendly to Pakistan anyway and, already, the Australian media has moved on. There is no mention of Pakistan or OBL in the front pages.
