Terror strikes Bangalore (Bengaluru)

Just breaking 6 or 7 bombs went off in Banagalore - my home town. A prayer for the city with the liveliest and friendliest of people

I have been reading a few papers online from the Pak area

seems that part of the world is the most violent, even ignoring Afghanistan and Iraq

Are you willing to have New Delhi turned into a radioactive crater for this strategy?

Sorry to hear of this. Hope casualties are at a minimum.

>>>>It’s time we just carpet bombed Pakistan and got done with the WOT.<<<<<

I’ve thought much the same thing since 9/11, that Pakistan is much more dangerous to the West than either Iran or Iraq.

At the very least we should have declared war against those many Islamist groups on the State Dept.’s Designated Terrorist List and who make their homes in Pakistan.

When Moosh goes and Nawaz Sharif gets back into office all hell will break loose in Pakistan.

Most of the AQ bigwigs have been caught in Pakistan, or reside there now. AQ has been financed by Pakistan heroin money for a decade+ (which by the way, Pakistan runs the Afghan opium/heroin business and is technically a narco-economy like Columbia or Mexico).

As for your point of carpet bombing Pakistan, most of the hijackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, along with Osama.

That was a strategic decision on OBL's part. He was trying to fracture Saudi-U.S. relations.

At some point, AQ will probably do something similar using cells comprised of Pakistani nationals.

Prayers for all the victims.

It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within." -Will Durant
I'm afraid I'm forced to agree with your assessment of the situation, MW. This thing didn't begin with 9/11 it won't end by killing off just a few of Islam's soldiers.

The police sources also said that these terror attacks bear the hallmarks of Bangladesh outfit HuJi.

There’s also a major airport there. I flew into it when I went on a church short term medical mission trip to Sharon.

It’s Friday. What else can be expected?

I spent some very memorable years in Bangalore and remember the city with great affection.

Prayers for the dead and sympathies/best wishes to the living.

Enron destroyed a bunch of Americans through corruption. Look at how that turned out!

You are comparing corruption to terrorism. Which side are you on? The jihadi’s?

I really have a hard time caring... just like those working in the big outsourcing shops in Bangalore don’t care about the devastation they inflict on others around the world.

Only party correct. Need to turn Mecca into a radioactive crater for the next several millennium.

Don’t bother answering - your post speaks for itself.
