    A commentator on the BBC declared that the Mumbai outrage "defies belief". No, it doesn't. Where has this guy been for the past decade or so ?

    Imperialists always did take advantage of the inveterate social fractures they found and their presence could keep them at bay for a while. But only for a while.

    Indeed. Par for the course. Indiscriminate attacks on resteraunts, hotels and train stations is standard modus operandi for the adherents of the reliogn of peace. On BBC world their security correspondent corrected someone who said Islamic terrorists. All I can say is WTF!

    It still endures. Just yesterday, it was pointed out to me that India is getting stronger - it was held back for a long while by the the division of the country.

    Christ, I have friends working over there at the moment.

    Just watching BBC and CNN, it's carnage - and there are 40 hostages in the Taj Mahal hotel.

    Gandhi was a poor choice of leader - too Hindu to be acceptable to the Muslims.

    You never miss an opportunity, you ingrate. Meanwhile, the BBC has said:
    If the reports are true, ......A claim of responsibility has been made by a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen. Our correspondent says it could be a hoax or assumed name for another group.
