Mumbai - Terrorism visits the city again!

I am not going to provide any graphic images or any youtube videoes to this post here, as it is more than apparent that no images can truly convey the horror that the whole of India has gone through ever since this latest episode of terror started.

It seems that the basic premise behind this attack was done specifically to diminish the economic prowress of the Nation as a whole. It is a really idiotic theorey, blow up a building and what, India's economy will falter. These guys are idiots, with no remorse perhaps but at the best,idiots. Terrorism does not make any country's economy falter and what's more with this latest terrorist attack, they have highlighted India in more ways than one. Sure, given the choice, we would rather that this attack had not taken place. But at the end of the day, India's economy will grow and do so for the forseeable future. This attack has but strengthend our resolve and it does not matter which part of India they attack, for the resolve of all Indians is universal, we will not be cowed down by such Cowards!

My heart goes out to the innocents and the young who were killed in this latest batch of terrorism from Pakistan [ The evidence is already there and for those of you who find it hard to beleive, go ahead and watch the news channels],no surprise there. But enough ius enough, one can only hope that the Indian government as well as the president of India cracks down on such contries providing support bases to terrorists. The government should start taking effective action by listing out the evidence and provide the same to all countries from China to the United states, tell them that either you are with us or stand against us - the line used by George bush during the 9-11. This action should not end there but should continue with hot pursuit, eliminating all terror bases either with pakistan's co-operation or not. If Pakmistan wants to survive its economic disaster and prevent the country from fragmening, it should take heed to do the same.

When it comes to reporting, I have to say that I was duly impressed by the reporters online 24 hours a day covering every aspect of this attack. To expect any Indian remain unaffected by this attack or remain objective is not realistic but that is exactly what most if not all the reporters did. They managed to provide up to date info on the attacks, provide arguments as to why these terrorists came from paistan and even aired pakistan's objections to the same. One can see why Indian news channels continue to reap rewards for their hard work and for providing 'objectivity' even under duress.

But is hard to make the same argument when it comes to some of the so called foreign channels from the BBC to CNN. With BBC, though they did provide an objective analysis the reporters were more busy with trying to discredit any theories put forth for this attack then examining the terrorist threat under the scanner. Frankly, it surprised me to see a vetran reporter of the likes of christiana amanpour do her best to discredit the government's theorey that the terrorists came from Pakistan. Sure, she gave 'objectivity' her money's worth, probably all 2 cents of it anyway. What did she think, that the terrorists came from nowwhere and went on this terrp spree for no reason at all. Even the common man can figure it out that these guys came well planned and were in this for the long haul. To listen to this particular reporter from CNN, one would think that it is our fault for being a vibrant democracy and a resurgent economy, implying that we caused the terrorists to attack. Shame on you for being so in-sensitive christiana, I hope that you never get to visit my wonderful country ever again. The government should seriously take some action of some sort against this channel, but then again, we are not China- meaning a police state. Under a democracy, we allow everyone to have a right to say what they want, irrespective of thier affiliations or the India hatred that christiana seems to have developed. Either way, christiana please do not bothe coming down here for we are not interested in playing host to the likes of you. I am glad that it is all over, thank you NSG, Marcos, the Army as well as the Navy including the Police. I am sure that no amount of praises or condolences is going to lessen the pain of the loss, but it is essential that we all remember that 'Tommorow is another day, we shall survive and certainly rise, irrespective of what took place'.
regds one and all.
