- The recent attacks in India (including those by Indian Mujahedeen) did not have any relation to Kashmir. This is simply a spill over from the International terrorism that is using islam as an excuse. If the international communitity is blind to this fact...then god help us.

- International community never stood by India when the Indian airlines was hijacked from NEpal to Afghan. This resulted in the "release" of a terrorist from Indian Jail, who was latter a key member of 9/11 planning group.

- Key members of Indian mafia like Dawood Ibrahim who killed so many people in India are living currently in Pakisthan...but they also lived a lavish life in Gulf, even when they were high on the wanted list of India.

- Pakisthan is asking for "proof", even when one of thier national was produced in an Indian court and whose action was available to the entier world as photos.

In the best interest of all the nation, i think the International community should try to understand the real reason and take action.

Getting the terrosits out is in US's interets as much as it for India because these people are enemies of the world. Please get your facts rights even if it applies to your ally Pakistan.

My heart goes ot to those who those who lost their lives and their families. The world has changed forever.. Its time India and the world act and destory these negative forces from the roots. But for this to happen we have to open our eyes and be ready to attack areas which breed terror. I also want to salute the NSG commmandos ,ATS as well as the hotel staff who risked their lives for others.

And as far as this latest terror attack is concerned, reports coming in (from the interrogation of a couple of terrorists who were captured alive) suggest that the objective was to raze the Taj Mahal hotel (one of the more visible symbols of India's history and modern economic vibrancy) and kill 5000 people. And as always, the underlying goal was to create mass fear in the country, in turn slowing down further the country's development by forcing resources to be deployed for rebuilding, anti-terror monitoring etc. Another report indicates that Dawood Ibrahim may have had a role to play in the recent attack as well.

"It is not democracy that they hate. It is the policies of the United States. "

So because they hate our policies, the attacked India? Please.

"Maybe,they just don’t like the ,”Capialist System”,what we call Democracy."

I doubt these terrorists give a hoot about how much money you make, the only thing that matters is if you are muslim or not.

This was an attack against India. Not the United States. That American citizens were targetted might have been a part of the design, but it by no means was the reason.

Absolutely CORRECT Louise ! That time worn simplistic and dead wrong phrase of G W Bush and company should be buried with the demise of teh Bush administration. These terrorists are NOT JEALOUS of us they are DIGUSTED with American foreign policy carried out in such indescriminate and heavy handed ways by this administration. They are demeaned and humiliated to the point where no sacrifice including giving their lives and the lives of innocents is to great to call attention to their cause.

As I said in another post I am convinced The world will be safe again but IT WILL SIMPLY NOT be accomplished with the ‘volunteer’ US Military patrolling every street corner. Keep in mind that The US. Military in time may become as big a threat to democracy as the terrorists themselves if this trend were to continue. Remember we no longer have a citizen Army. These folks are transforming into nothing more than PAID MERCENARIES. It’s the intelligence community that will ultimately save us and the human race make no mistake about it and a drafted citizen Army that will ultimately keep the over all peace.

that is the question.
Maybe al qaida is not responsible whenever there are such attacks.
The point is, who is the piper?

what britain has? india's to be alert and adopt a suspicious outlook to twart any more of such incidents. and the way is how....

cctv – close circuit video monitoring. we in britain have over a million cameras all over, pointing at the road junctions, people in the busy streets, traffic lights which are closely monitired from the hub/ one in each major city. people are watched for their body language, behaviour and if anything unsusal they are closely spied on. it's impossible to know. their phones getting tapped, they are followed to their place of work, people around them are questioned, so many things so anythng major like the bomb blasts in delhi/mumbai could be known before hand or any such future attacks thwarted.

people in suspicion are always checked on by anyway possible and it's not illegal to invade someones privacy for country's security as a whole.

people buying chemicals however small and harmless even placed under this category nevertheless hospitals and surgeries, factories even they have liences, thefts of chemicals/anything lethal/or put to endangering lives/anythng that arises suspicion are closely monitored. there's a cctv, more like 10's of them in one street? does installing them once and for good costs more than even one life lost in terrorist attack. the miscreants should be brought to justice (in US its death penalty after trial and to all those invloved, so low lives think twice) and cult like islam must be moderated.
i dont understand again difference between a moderate and extremist muslim. if an extremist is about to chop my head off i think the moderate is just happy to watch. a shame.
patriotism and allegiance from 140 million muslims in india can never bring the culturally rich, tolerant and strong nation like theirs down so where's the flaw? india is multireligious muliethinic and every religion has always enjoyed its freedom and liberty but not at the cost of taking p*ss or it wouldnt have been a safe heaven for for all those who do.

bombings? meek and weak way of killing innocent people. how when something like this happens in UK or USA the whole country as such goes under red alert and the incident remains in the memories of people/govt./MI5/FBI for next 10 years and anniveraries are mourned every year. what happens in India? them kind incidents happen every single month yet month next and month after nothing changes?

INDIA is not weak. the country moved from rags to 7th world major power in just 50 years has a lot of potential but justice should be stringent and laws harder with no loopholes for miscreants to getout of at all. we are not foolish, or are we proving to be the ones? it's time to wake up, get concerned because it's our country and our lives could be next at stake.
