What Conservatives Won't Learn From Mumbai

Many conservatives (see here, here, and here) were quick to offer sweeping lessons from the terror attacks in Mumbai. One curious omission to date - they're not praising the Indian government. Now, obviously, you can't praise their counter-terrorism policies, which have obviously failed. But what about this:

The top domestic security official resigned in disgrace on Sunday for the failure to thwart or quickly contain the horrific terrorist attacks in Mumbai last week, as India’s government announced a raft of measures to bolster antiterrorism efforts and struggled to calibrate a response to what it views as Pakistani complicity.

The Indians suffer a catastrophic terrorist attack and government officials resign. The party of personal responsibility responds to a far more devastating terrorist attack on U.S. soil by rebuffing and dismissing efforts to investigate government failures and bestowing medals on those in charge of our national security apparatus.

UPDATE: More resignations:

Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, which includes Mumbai, submitted his resignation as an acknowledgement of security failings that allowed the attack to extend over three days, and the ruling Congress Party was expected to accept his offer to step down. Deputy chief minister R.R. Patil resigned earlier on Monday, while Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil had quit the day before.
