What kind of leaders do we have

As the combat operation against the terrorist gunmen who held Mumbai for ransom over the past 3 days is coming to an end many thoughts engulf my mind.
Watching Shivraj Patil, the home mininster of India speak, after every major security breach in India which has become a regular feature thesedays, is a pathetic sight. Agreed he showed no spine in taking any kind of strong action over past many years, but he could have shown some resolve and sternness when he spoke in public. Atleast some rhetorical strong talk and posturing could have gone a longway in assuring citizens as well as terrorists that some action might be forthcoming. But no, he spoke like a swami teaching apathy towards life, in a very docile tone, using such uninspiring language that listening to it automatically reveals that this man means no action. Why are we put up with him? won't he resign and go for penance in some ashram after repeated failure over past few years?

Did you watch the primeminister Manmohan singh address the nation when the terrorists took siege of Mumbai? As aptly summed up by Shobha De on TV it was "a lack-luster, uninspiring and robotic speech". He sounded like a student who has memorized something for an exam and he must spit it out quickly before he forgets something. Without any emotion, anger or angst or sorrow or resolve, without even a change in the modulation, he went on uttering non-sense which Iam sure if recorded would be suitable for retelecast, for each and every incident that happens in India.
Can he mean any action?

What a senseless move by Advani and Modi to visit Mumbai at the hour of crisis. Why is Modi projecting that, "if your government puts a value tag of 10lakhs on a policeman's life, my value tag is 1 crore. Hence I offer better value"?

Thankfully for most of the last 3 days, all the coverage is about the law and order, police, army, bravery of the hotel staff etc. I am sure people would have felt relief not seeing the political class on TV,who otherwise hog all the media space at the cost of valuable issues that matter to the nation.

Do we have leaders at any end of the political spectrum to lead India in these times of crisis? Leaders not because they occupy a chair, but because they can show leadership and rise above the mediocrity all around.
In every corner of India, all we can see are leaders who are ready to divide people based on religion, region, caste, language, class and whatever one could imagine.
We have, political right which tries to take advantage of the situation, without any concrete alternative, political left that preaches irrelevant ideologies (and will soon be out to protect the rights of the terrorists and to condemn the aggression shown by police and army). Political centreground is occupied presently not by moderates in policy but by impotents who are just unable to decide, jumping which side would give them the maximum benefit.
Are there any real leaders in the entire political class? If yes, please come out this is the time when India needs you. If not it does not augur well for India.
