the mumbai attacks are germs of (of have-nots)'s hatred against the powerpuffed capitalist's sleepwalks
Many top officers have died sacrificin their lives coz the Indian Govt has been sleepwalkin and hoodwinking us,never geared for the worst,and innocent as a result are the worst victims,who shall b remembered for a week or so then,the selective collective amnesia of the public shall b taken oven and they shall move on calling it springing bak resilience,besides,after few yrs again another calamity shall shake up our poor countrymen,the world oohinh,aahing,after all media has evaded the geographical differences by internet,t.v,satellite,why is it people's welfare is bein taken for granted aftre 6 months of actionplan and then suddenly waking up to their fallible ignorance which is shown at the behest of the innocents being victimised,this warfare in the name of religion is a namesake for the revolution against the rich,mighty nations ,people who splurge money at the drop of the hat showcasin who's the richest in the tug of war of snobberyits the doings,failings of the mighty,powerful rich who are secured up in z-class security in their mansions dat to get their attention these jihadis are drawin their attention by pilfering blood coz dats the only way for theese suicide-live bombers to get themselves heard and get an itch of power,to join the ranks of the supersmilin,richie rich,high mighty leaders who are beyond reach of the poor,people not status quo,its funny its called a country by the people,for the people..Its like they hoodwink yu and wen yu show yor prowess and lose lives,injure yorself ,there yu shall b hailed a hero after yu no more around to b benefitted by the honor,accolades.How cum a minority group as compared to the huge wings of the govt,successfully masterplan a carnage bloodbath and terror,if not of the assurance of a weak head.If we were as well-educated and as worldly-wise as we pretend to be, we would not be surprised. The economic development of India followed the strict social divisions of a non-democratic caste society. Hundreds of millions of India's people have neither secure work nor even electricity. The West must recognize India as a victim of corrupt global economics and potentially a model for the emerging economic divisions there as in the U.S. The spreading violence is the direct result of a vacuum of moral and humanitarian leadership.
India has generated violence amongst muslim-hindus,hindus-christians,dalits,kandhas,panas and may be my selective memory has failed to remind me more of such communal hatred given a go here,if people cant accept and live along happily with diverse caste,creeds,then why not change the system and preach oneness,instead of worshipping zillions of deities and millions of languages fabricating divide in this peace lovin country of Gandhi,Ashoka,Buddha.United we stand,divided we fall,i dont think i'm writin anythin new,its the same,but the amnesia might well enforce the country to a dose of amnesia until the next attack substituted in the name of the vulnerably controversial term-RELIGION.

Vigilance should be increased more than ever before.
It is pathetic that Osama bin Laden or his deputies have not been captured. Is it possible that they get into burqua and move about freely in Pakistan or anywhere in the Middle East?
successful in todays world.
Truth is, they do not have the guts to look terror in the eye and tell them to stop messing around, or else.
For all his faults, I salute President Bush for keeping America safe under his watch after 9/11.
This event has parallel similarity with Marriot at Islamabad, Underlining the importance of working together globally to uproot this menace from the world.
I think it’s also an attempt to start a blame game by hard liners in India to point fingers at neighboring countries, where there is a strong resentment present at civilian and military levels that India itself is the source of terrorism in their respective countries.
In any case cool heads should join to find the solution to fight a common enemy “terror”. Root cause of which lies in S.E Asian country of Afghanistan. World should support the innocent victims of terror in Pakistan, India or Afghanistan by providing them moral and material support.

One can't help but wonder if the financial chaos in the world and Obama's election played a part in this. It makes one wonder if Ron Regan had just been elected would terrorists have attacked a close ally of the US.
In fact, based on Obamas compaign rhetoric. shouldn't we already ber immersed in peace, love,tranquility and mutual understanding? How can Somali pirates still be active? US stocks down 15% to 20% since Obamas election. Rubin who helped ruin citibank in Obamas inner circle...And Russians visiting Cuba and Venezula...the world is already falling part and Obama isn't even in office yet.
Let us not assume that communist China and the communist Soviet Russia are our friends. These two might be supporting the terrorists behind our back.
Dialogue is not an option.
We must build our military force beyond comparison.
We need to be able to act, without having to ask for help from UN or even any of our closest allies, on our own any time we deem it necessary to strike our enemy or rescue our or our ally's people.
UN is an hindrance to us.
We need to be able to spot even the least organized attack on innocent people, let alone, this kind of coordinated terrorism and shatter it like a thunderbolt.
The last thing Al-Qaeda wants is for stability to reign in Afghanistan, and for India to continue to prosper.
But we are the land of Gandhi - and Bombay is an extraordinary city - the people there are spirited and fearless. We will get over this.
But please, get a life!! You imply that W has made America safe. Really? The world is increasingly inter-connnected today. If there's mayhem in South Asia today, it is bound to have repercussions aroud the world.
While the general consensus has been that Jihadists from foreign countries are the ones involved in terrorist acts in India, that pattern is changing. As in Europe where many terrorists are home grown and Pakistan-trained (graduate studies in Afghanistan),
India will also see more of its own citizens joining the Jihadi International with their political philosophy originating from places like Deoband.
With a corrupt and disorganized state, overwhelming population, under-resourced and incompetent police and intelligence, India is convenient for terrorist target practice. This will not be the last one.
Let's please not issue a blanket condemnation of Muslims and Islam. Iran, a Muslim nation, has always had excellent relations with India.
Thank you Dr Singh for bringing shame to the millions of Indian all over the world who are watching CNN and wondering what their native land has turned into under your leadership.
The Home Minister Patil should have been fired long time ago for being incompetent in his postion as the head of the internal security in India.
Anyone who has even been to Bombay now called Mumbai knows what a beautiful structure Hotel Taj is. Its pity to see it burn on CNN
Patil is more interested in looking good then doing whats good for India.
WHEN oh WHEN will moderate believers stand up ?
WHEN will Christians, Jews, Muslims and all others stand up in their temples, mosques and churches and rain in your fanatics, Zions, and fundamentalists? what are you scared of. i have yet to really hear the voices of your religious leaders , in a LOUD unmistakable voice denounce such hatred. I blame all of us for not taking responsibility and looking organized religion straight in the eye and questioning its very premise and core beliefs.
Until we all wake from this nightmare built upon these irrational belief systems we will live in fear and death.
There was only ever one country that belonged in the Axis of Evil. Pakistan.
For far too long, the world has looked the other way as terrorists on the Government of Pakistan Payroll have attempted to maintain disorder in the are, both in India and in Afghanistan.
It is time for the world community, especially the intelligence communities, to end their silence and reveal the truth surrounding the ISI and put this evil organization and its supporters in Pakistan out for good as a terrorist sponsoring organization.
From Bloomberg:
"Between January 2004 and March 2007 the death toll from terrorist attacks in India was 3,674, second only to Iraq during the same period, according to the National Counterterrorism Center in Washington."
The anti terrorism setup needs a complete revamp in India and probably we will see BJP in power after the next federal elections.
Because of panic stricken calls from my mother and father to my cousins working in New York city on 9/11, then the same calls to me when I was studying abroad in London during the subway bombing, then the same concerned calls to relatives in Delhi during that train bombing, then concerned calls to my Grandmother during the bombing a few months back in Bangalore, now calls to relatives about Mumbai...
It's fatiguing, and I wasn't even directly caught in the middle of these bombings, I can't imagine how it is for people who have to deal with it on a daily basis. The level of frustration must be overwhelming.
8 years later I realize there is no depth to the terrorists psyche, no understanding to be gained by trying to analyze what makes them tick. They do not want to sit and talk. They will not stop until there is no "other" left to destroy. Sure they are poor and probably resentful of something, it doesn’t give them any excuse to do what they do. I pray this country and others that deal with terrorism will find the strength and resources to absolutely crush these extremists.
I hope the WORLD does not allow India to act on these sentiments and take revenge against the innocent Muslim and other religious minorities living peacefully in that part of the world.
The implacable enemies of freedom loving people will never stop. They are part of the landscape now.
So as we celebrate Thanksgiving and the fact that there have been no attacks on American soil since 9/11 let us never forget what happened to us and not allow isolationism, appeasement or deals with the Devil erode our freedoms.
Similarly, the current terrorist attack in Mumbai is not at all related to the fact that the 150 million muslims of India generally are behind the other religious communities in education, family planning and household income. The movement in Kashmir is similar to the Khalistan movement and is heavily financed by Pakistani government.
At the root of the problem, Pakistan thinks that whole of Kashmir state belongs to them. For last 60 years, rather than focussing on developing its economy, its focus was on grabbing the Indian section of Kashmir state. Pakistan attacked India 4 times in last 60 years and was successful in grabbing a part of Kashmir. But they want the whole of Kashmir. The islamic terrorism in different parts of India stems from support toward Pakistan and Kashmir movement by a miniscule section of the muslim community. An overwhelming majority of Indian muslims oppose this idea and terrorism.
They have completely lost their sense of priorities. I can't imagine what those innocent people are going through.
It's such a shame. When will we ever catch, punish and prevent the people who repeatedly do this and then get away with it ?
Shame on us as a nation.
