Mumbai Attacks - Result of our chalta hai attitude?

The terrorist attacks in Mumbai is not only a sign of how depraved and misled are some people who shoot at unarmed innocent folks going about their day as any other day but about how incompetent our government is when it comes to protecting it's people! Kids, old people, folks visiting our country to see its wonder, workers who were returning home to their families after a day's hard work and couples having a nice dinner were all attacked with no mercy. Freedom of a whole city was taken away in a night by some 20 odd terrorists who I believe were cowards to target the innocent.
Once this is over are we going start over with the "chalta hai" attitude that we are so famous for? However resilient that might seem we got to show our government that we are not OK. We are not OK that

-our freedom has been taken away
-we can't peacefully celebrate a night out with friends and family without worrying about being shot
-we need to think twice before we board a train
-foreigners brand India with terrorism
-people die for no reason or no mistake of theirs
-petty terrorists can instill fear in us to roam our own streets
-the leaders we elect are not fit to do their jobs
-it makes us question secularity of our country
-the very fabric of our society is being torn apart in parts
-ANYBODY CAN SNEAK ON US AND STEAL OUR FREEDOM!
The only way to make our leaders accountable for this mess is tell them we are not OK!!!!

What we need to realise is India is a easier and softer target after countries such as US and UK have strengthened the security and are less prone to terrorist attack. Guess, it helps the terrorists keep themselves motivated by reining terror on easier targets. So lets shed our "chalta hai" attitude before we mourn the loss of more countrymen and hold our leaders responsible for our safety and peace!
