New Delhi, July 29: Outgoing US ambassador to India Robert Blackwill today condemned terrorism against India and said no religion or political cause could justify these "merciless acts". In his farewell address at a luncheon hosted by FICCI, Blackwill, who leaves for home tomorrow after a memorable two year stint, expressed confidence that India and US together would win the war against terrorism. Voicing grave concern over the India`s death toll from terrorism, Blackwill said, "No respectable religion could excuse these merciless acts. "No moral framework could sanction these abominations. No political cause could justify these murders of innocents and yet they go on."
"We know this from the Ramayana, and many other holy books. Good does triumph over evil, although it sometimes takes more time than we would like. We will win the war on terrorism, and the United States and India will win it together - because we represent good, and terrorists are evil incarnate. God will make it so," he said. Bureau Report
