  The Sheer Effrontery- Perhaps

  Terrorist attack in Mumbai- Bombay

  Deeply was a dolt and wondered why he did not recognize Mumbai... he was not thinking of Mumbai Gin of course, but Bombay... silly Deeply. But this gets back to this attack. Very sad and unfortunate for those involved, but hardly worthy of all the news coverage. There are almost 20 million people in Mumbai, so percentage wise a small attack. And, of course none of the networks were speaking to India's history, it's past, the British Raj, and the significance of an attack against the Taj Mahal hotel.

  Well, the Taj Mahal hotel was built in 1903 and added on to in 1973. It is a five star establishment, hardly the place where poor old British and American pikers stay. The common Indian, not even the common American, can afford the Taj Mahal which contains Mumbai's most la di da restaurant. The cheapest rooms are 650 per night in a land where the average yearly income is 500 hundred dollars. Some how the networks... good old CNN and and NBC neglected to tell you this!

  Do you think this may have something to do with the attack? Britain's history in India and the sheer effrontery of the place to the average Indian... foreigners, who spend, on a one night stay for the cheapest rooms, more than the average Indian's yearly income... Do you think? And perhaps some of these people were staying in the suites ouch...thousands!

  And were the networks letting morons like Joe the Plumber... this sort of American know this... of course they were not! Always look for the AGENDA! And I don't mean the terrorists!
