I have to say, all the liberals and democrats are right on this one… we should say screw India, let them take care of their own problems.
___________________________

India is sure capable of taking care of problems .... But the US may not like it ... US ally Pakistan is involved in this mess! It is in the best interest of the humanity that we get involved with India to flush out all terrorist operations, including Al-qaeda, from Pakistan ...

See.... there in lies the problem Bush kept nothing safe, and his leadership lead to economic collapse.

How is that keeping us safe, and great leadership?

And if i have to be reminded how "great Bush is" every time terrorist attack innocent people; something is shady.

Every time terrorist attack people, it reminds me of how horrible of a leader bush is,and how he valued the Saudi's & the oil industry, the bankers, and the global elite over America and it's values, and how Bush is friends with the BIn Laden family....and where is Bin laden anyway? Does Bush even care to catch him?

Thank God we now have an INTELLIGENT President who believes in looking for peaceful solutions and war and the sacrifice of life as a last resort.

This attack in India was handled with excellence by the Indian government. Even Pakistan is offering help to investigate the source of the attacks. It is important to do investigative work to see where these attackers came from and what the point of their attack was about. They first asked for Americans and British but in the end it was the Indian people who lost the most citizens by far.

Regardless of who was responsible, it is important to prosecute those captured and to not let this escalate to broad violence and revenge. Many of these terrorist groups are losing members and are falling apart. The nations of the world are working together to destroy the infrastructure of these violent groups. This was an attempt by them to gain attention and pretend they are still to be feared. Yes, they did kill many innocent people but almost all of the gunmen were caught or killed. The less attention we give them and the quicker India goes back to its normal daily routine – the less media attention these groups receive and the sooner the same daily life routines return the more irrelevant it makes these hate groups appear. It lessens their power and it hurts their recruiting efforts.

Let the Intelligence organizations go after these groups behind the scenes and announce arrests when they catch them. Otherwise, these groups should be ignored. They want attention and they want to disrupt and change lifestyles so people live in fear. If we refuse to let this happen – the less impact these groups have and the less power they have to recruit, to grow, and to achieve their goals. It weakens them and they fall apart.

India and the world should publically denounce the violence, mourn the innocent victims, and then life there should go on. Let their intelligence agencies hunt these people in silence and announce when they have destroyed them.

Not giving them the media attention they want and not letting their actions change life as we know it is the greatest weapon we have in the destruction of these groups.

May God be with the families who lost loved ones in this senseless attack but let us not respond with grand scale violence or revenge. We win by not giving the attackers the response they want.

The world wins when war mongers like Bush and Cheney are taken out of power.

so you are part of the 23% that think he is a good president... I see. you must be either rich or have no clue of what has been going on in this country for the last 8 years.

you put republican before country, you place devastating economy and expensive pointless war before country!

That was a very good post. Compared to the usual hate filled vitriol spewed on these pages it was refreshing. I am a McCain supporter but I wish Obama the best because it's our country that he will be leading.

Violence begets violence. The last thing the US should do is get involved in this, other than diplomatically. This is between India and the (possibly Pakistani) terrorists. Please, Mr. Bush, don't get us involved in another war!

Keep praying you really need a mircale!!!

In about 2 months Bush can sit back at the stock-dump, paid-for Crawford Ranch and watch an expert handle things, and without having to fire a shot or threaten anybody, either!!!

"at east 183 people." – Where are the editors?

India has No City Governments
India has No City Police Force

United States has Effective City Governments.
The City Governments take care of most of the immediate
needs of the people. The City Governments has Police Force.
The City Governments has Fire Safety Force and Utility too.

No such things are available in India.

You were shocked watching that Mumbai Terror attacks.

With the kind of Ineffective City and State Governments India has,
you will not be surprised with these kind of attacks

There is no Effective City Governments in India.

For instance, this Mumbai City Governments has No Police Force.

Only the State has got the Police Force.

To make you understand, let me take California for discussion:

There is no San Francisco Police Department.

Throughout California, you have California State Police.

California State Police has Head Office in Sacramento.

The head of the California State Police is known as
Director General of Police, in short, DGP.

DGP is responsible for the safety of the entire California.

DGP appoints City Police Commissioner for each City.

DGP is responsible for recruiting the police force
for the entire state.

Is it practically possible to manage effectively,
if the Chief sits in Sacramento and try to manage
the police force in San Diego city.

The same thing for the Fire Safety too.

It is time, India understands this major defect
in its Government Structure.

It is time, City Governments in India has
effective police force and fire safety.

It is time, India establishes Autonomous, Accountable,
Performing, Effective City Governments.

Till then, India is not safe.

The fact is: Effective City Governments make the nation as
a Developed Nation.

. . . and now all those who advised you and used you (like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove) are distancing themselves from you. Truly a Greek tragedy. Sad, sad, oh how so sad. . . .

Capturing people around the globe, torturing and keeping them without representation in Guantanamo and in secret gulag type of prisons in the coalition of the willing countries bode very well for world peace according to the Bush administration.

It is a slippery slope between known sponsored states of terror and those that use subtlety as a way to mask their collegial actions from the general public.

Al, you make me sick. Terrorists are terrorists, they don't need excuses. You are the type of disgusting person who blames the US for all acts of terrorism instead of the true terrorists themselves. I bet you also blame the failures in your life on the government as well.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

No w GO AWAY!
