Of course, its a no-brainer that there have to have been more clues than what the public has been led to believe. Such a barbaric act cannot have left no clues. And we are not fools. <BR/><BR/>Another thing. Did you know, all those dozen or so people have not been killed by the police. Some of them have managed obscurity and are roaming the streets of Mumbai, possibly planning other things, as I write this.<BR/><BR/>Frightening to think a government would be so corrupt as to provide false news and risk the lives of citizens of the country and those tourists who love the warmth in Indians.UmmeAiman Iqbalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077688345538637169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-33527135003868379502008-12-02T11:08:00.000+04:002008-12-02T11:08:00.000+04:00While no one seems to understand the whys and hows...While no one seems to understand the whys and hows of the Mumbai attack, what surprises me is that inthe aftermath everyone seems to be talking only about avoiding future attacks on Mumbai viz most of the famous names who were interviewed on TV. Yes its is highly important to secure our commercial capital but what about other parts of India that are equally or even more unsecure and where people's lives are equally valuable. I hope that ALL people of India wake up to this seeming failure of leaders as well as intelligence and demand improved security all over. Also shun the selfish politicans. Maybe all elections in the future should give people a choice whether they would prefer 'president's rule' for a term, But then we need to be sure that we have effective and strong presidents & not like the one we have now.The common man seems to end up on the losing side irrespective of which political party is in power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-82184143118679596962008-12-01T16:54:00.000+04:002008-12-01T16:54:00.000+04:00PE, but they didn't target westerners, five times ...<B>PE</B>, but they didn't target westerners, five times more Indians were killed than westerners.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-83698456632464631172008-12-01T16:31:00.000+04:002008-12-01T16:31:00.000+04:00Seabee, it does not make sense and do not waste ti...Seabee, it does not make sense and do not waste time trying to make sense of it. What you need to know is that there is a group of people who want to kill westerners for reasons they alone understand. Perhaps it is religeon. Perhaps it is culture. But they want to kill you and they don't care if they die in the act. <BR/><BR/>Do not rely upon governments for protection. Rely upon yourself. Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings. And if you see a couple of guys with heavy backpacks, leave the area immediately. Stay safe.Peripatetic Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508035944158746797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-13139522435338445832008-12-01T12:15:00.000+04:002008-12-01T12:15:00.000+04:00I found the article at the link below to be somewh...I found the article at the link below to be somewhat insightful about the Mumbai attacks:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/29/opinion/29mehta.html?embrent_schwartz@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055440256859115144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-29397423548637584622008-11-30T13:32:00.000+04:002008-11-30T13:32:00.000+04:00I couldn't believe it when they estimated the numb...I couldn't believe it when they estimated the number of gunmen.
