Silicon Valley of India, isn’t it; any significance to that?
Um, no it wouldn’t. There are no simple answers to the WOT.

Serial blasts in Bangalore, casualties reported, AFP via Google (no real details yet, it’s mostly flash traffic on the net...)
As for your point of carpet bombing Pakistan, most of the hijackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, along with Osama.

“7 blasts rock Bangalore; two killed, 20 wounded”

BANGALORE:
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The police have confirmed that low intensity crude bombs were triggered by a timer.
The blasts took place at the Madivala bus stop, Hossur road, Adugudi, Koramangla, Mysore Road and Nayadahalli. The blasts happened within a span of 12 minutes.
Bomb disposal squads have reached the blasts sites.
Schools, colleges, cinema halls and commercial complexes have been shut down.
According to IB sources, SIMI and LeT may be behind the Bangalore blasts and they could be retaliatory in nature.”
That’s about all I can see for updates at this moment MimirsWell.
Prayers for the victims and their families in that area.
I am confused - why would terrorists bomb their own “territory”? Or is this an area of Pakistan that is somewhat westernized and not getting with their jihad program?
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
“If we just laid Pakistan to waste, all the terror problems the world has in South Asia will be solved automatically.”
Are you willing to have New Delhi turned into a radioactive crater for this strategy?
>>>>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.
Someone should ask Rev Wright why the chickens moved.
"...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. 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 DurantI'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.
“Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime” -Will Durant
India carpet bombed Enron....look how well that turned out! Indian corruption vs Paki terrorists....tough call!
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.
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.
