Good! You & your family are in my prayers.
They probably declined our help because they were ALREADY RESPONDING. Like, immediately. They way one is supposed to respond in an event like this. No dithering. Just eliminate the scum as fast as possible.
I think the best points of view on this topic will come when I head to the university on Monday and see the reaction from the students .
Meanwhile the general mood on the street is one of anger .
And some people are still frightened . I saw empty Buses today - that's a rare sight in mumbai !
some Indian Marine commando was saying 25-30 terrorist were involved in the Taj hotel incident alone . . . if true, we could be looking at a force of 50-75 terrorists
In my view this is a wrong move on INDIA'S PART !
What spokesmen say and what happens behind the scenes are two different things.
I doubt they wanted to wait for us to discuss the “moral implications” of helping them.
At this point, I think it’s going to be tough for the Indian govt to be able to avoid taking some overt retalitory action
Per NDTV- today is the birthday of the rabbi’s child. Apparently the grandparents may also have been killed- they had come to Mumbai for a visit..
Condi called Pranab Mukerjee - and offered help .
HE said we can manage !
They seem to be doing just that. We would only delay matters. Hostages would be killed while we talked.
"Oh, great and she is getting her own show... why, exactly, did she think this was OUR fault?" Zene had toned it down today on CNN but I am not watching as much. It's too difficult. How does the world find these cockroaches and destroy them?
Did our friend over there get groceries? I wasn’t on line yesterday.
India said no thanks to U.S. help. However, U.S. citizens were murdered and/or held hostage. Doesn’t that mean we can go in there??? Thus far, all that is happening is that Condi and Barack are on the phone like high schoolers goin’ steady.
Are you sure that was Deepak Chopra or some random Deepak?
Gergen is a gerkin.
So Deepak Chopra is shilling for the religion of peace and bashing the U.S.? We have to listen to these Obama jerks for four years? (note I didn’t say 8 yrs).
