“Mumbai: A Price too High?”
By Swati Parashar
SNIPPET: “I am afraid it will not soothe my senses anymore by being told again and again that religions stand for peace and ‘some people’ are misusing religion and misquoting scriptures. The problem is that the supply of ‘some people’ seems to be never ending. These ‘some people’ are not just a few people but like amoeba they keep multiplying. I am afraid I will not feel calmed tomorrow when I hear that we should try to understand the ‘root causes’, the injustices and anger that force people on the path of terror. I ask today, as I rage at these terrorists who may not even be citizens of my country, how dare you speak for people of this country?”

Why are so many people on forums so offended that CNN referred to Mumbai attacks as “India’s September 11?”
Still fighting/gunfire at Nariman House, commandos being lowered by chopper.
Israeli’s have people on the way
Per CNN/IBN

It looks like they are making a terrorist sandwich! They landed on the roof, & stormed the front door.
did the guy on IBN just say the terrorist arrived at the house 5 days ago? and have 50,000 rounds?(according to a witness)
I did not catch the 50,000 round part, but yes the terrorist got there 5 days ago, and bought a lot of food stuff.
ok so it was 50,000 units of food..not ammo
ok so it was 50,000 units of food..not ammo
Could be. It’s obvious these bass turds have the food, weapons,& nerves to make for a long standoff.
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin and his beautiful family.
Yes...this is the kind of coldblooded sociopaths we are dealing with. You cannot sit down and negotiate with creatures like these.
God be with all those who have lost loved ones yesterday and today.
May it end soon.
Thank you West Coast Gal for the update.
My prayers are with the soldiers doing the rescue and the hostages and their families.
I'm off to bed, work tomorrow.
I've been watching the IBN link but they keep playing the same pictures over and over again.
I pray the hostages are alive in the Chabad. The cook who rescued the son of the rabbi and his wife said they were unconscious when she left, so hope is not high.
You sleep well and after Thanksgiving dinner tonight; I’ll update some more.
Thanks as always West Coast Gal.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “And a tantalizing detail from the Guardian:
One police officer who encountered the gunmen as they entered the Jewish centre told the Guardian the attackers were “white”, although this could mean they were paler-skinned Indians from the country’s north.
“I went into the building late last night,” he said. “I got a shock because they were white. I was expecting them to look like us. They fired three shots. I fired 10 back.”
NDTV Situation Update
