    Yet another Indian point of view

    This one from my sister, in south India {my interpolations}

    "Luckily I don't have a TV or I would be more disturbed about the Mumbai incidents than I am. I am disturbed primarily because I am not sure what govt of India can do (except break off all relations with the US which is unrepentantly feeding the monster {by worrying about Pakistani sensibilities}).... It's nothing but an ongoing military war waged by two nations' militaries (Pakistan and Bangladesh) and Indians must admit that it is so instead of blathering about other things including terrorism."

    BTW, she predicted, and I agreed, that the cost of a Pakistani government run by civilians would be an upsurge in terrorist incidents in India; and so it has come to pass. While she was here in the US we subscribed to all the Pakistani TV channels available on satellite, and she'd watch all the talk and news shows .
