India on the Offensive

At a certain point, does hypocricy just revert to irony?

Cliff May has a post at The Corner on the security fence they are building in India:

India is accelerating the construction of a 2,500-mile fence to seal its border with its Muslim neighbor, Bangladesh. Didn't the International Court of Justice say (to Israel) that such passive security measures were illegal – and much more objectionable than oh, say, sending suicide-bombers to play at weddings and bar mitzvahs?

May give a link to an article at The Sunday Times website, which gives all the details of the threat that India is facing. It comments on the apparent collaboration of the Bangladesh government with the terrorists:

Indian officials and western diplomats have been alarmed by an increase in terrorist attacks by militant groups linked to Al-Qaeda and by the Dhaka government’s failure to crack down on them.

One group said to have links with the government claimed responsibility for 500 synchronised explosions in 63 of Bangladesh’s 64 districts in August. Opposition leaders and diplomats believe the government has failed to act against Bangla Bhai and other terrorists because they have connections with the governing coalition.

Almost sounds like the PA--except that Palestinian Arabs have Bangladesh beat in the suicide bombing department.
