Joint Global Operation Against Terrorism

If the United States thinks that it can rein in terrorism on its own, it could be its daydream but not a fact. Terrorism cannot be rooted out completely as long as all countries wanting to move ahead on the path of progress with peace and tranquility do not join hands, and that too with sincerity.
It is possible that the arrogance of being the most powerful nation might be keeping the United States under the illusion that it does not need support from any other country in the war against terror.

Campaign Against Terror
At least, from its attitude in the matter of investigation into the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack, it seems that the United States does not need anyone. By not allowing Indian intelligence agencies to question David Headley, who was arrested by the US intelligence agency in connection with the Mumbai terror attack, the manner in which the United States is trying to deal with the campaign against terror in its own way is not a good indication.
Officials of Indian intelligence agencies Research and Analysis Wing and the Intelligence Bureau, who stayed in the United States for a week, were perhaps not allowed by the United States to question David Headley because no case against him was registered in India until then. This could be a shortcoming of Indian officials, but this paperwork or legal formality could have been completed while they were in the United States, and they should have been allowed to question Headley.
The bigger question is: What does the United States want to prove by not allowing intelligence agencies of countries that are suffering from terrorism to question a suspect? If the United States is interrogating him, it should continue to do so, but it would have been a good beginning against terrorism if India had been able to collect some evidence from him. Now the FBI chief is coming on a visit to India for a week. His intention is to gather information about Headley's activities. Let us suppose India refuses to cooperate with the United States here, what would happen to his mission? If it is a joint intention of India and the United States to find out about Headley's activities, why can there not be a joint investigation?

War Against Terrorism
Not only India and the United States, but also Pakistan or any other country that is suffering from terrorism should jointly run an effective campaign against terrorism. The way terrorism has rocked Pakistan in the past six months should not be the concern of Pakistan alone.
As long as talk of a joint campaign against terrorism does not come out of paper and takes shape practice, the hope of eliminating it would remain unfulfilled. It would be better if "Interpol" took all major countries into confidence and formed a separate international task force that would gather all information and provide it to concerned countries. If this takes place, the war against terrorism would be easier for every country, and the results would also be good.
