Bro....I don't know if there can ever be a war between India & America....but the fun of PDF is that we can SIMULATE every possible (or impossible) scenario

Because the US embassy is the primary target for terrorist all over the world. Barricades prevent direct access for explosive laden trucks and is the first line of defense against such attacks.

Well, geez I wonder why...

You don't get to tell us how to go about our security detail. Simple as that.

The perimeter wall does not stand a chance. The use of explosives by terrorist in India isn't as rare as you think.

am pretty sure US authorities will review the embassy security in light of such changes and might vacate if they feel their staff are not safe enough.
You should have more trust in your govt.

And when's the last time a TRUCK BOMB was used in India? I don't think there has been a single instance. And the link you provided related to one of the "troubled" red states- not the national capital of India and the embassy district at that.

Not at all. I am least interested in it.. Its not about a dick measuring contest.. I appreciate the US efforts to defuse the tension.. The end result will be she will be sending back to India.. Its the only way we both can solve the issue.. Back door talks are going on.. That means we both wanted a safe exit from this debacle and sending her back is the best way.. Because, it is the standard procedure when a diplomat is breaking laws in the countries they are working..

i think the removal of barricades was an extreme step, they should not have done that. Yes India has overreacted due to public pressure.

Does the Indian embassy in USA have protection of barricades?

level of security is based on threat perception and how good you are in dealing with it.. Indian embassy does not face equal threat in USA...
am pretty sure US embassy in iraq and pakistan will have much more elaborate security features. Same with Indian embassy in kabul.

I understand diplomatic priviliedge and other goodies are based on reciprocity, but not security.

But specifically was this a TRUCK BOMB- the risk you say the US embassy now faces as a result of these barricades being removed. I dare you to find one such instance of a truck bombing.

There's just no need to exaggerate threat perceptions.

Just because one outlet is attacked, does not mean that all Indians are running around and torching US stuffs..If that the case, I wouldnt have any underwear left to wear...

My friend,it would have been a sad state of affairs if 1.2 billion indians would be running around burning outlets.
