1. It felt good to read this article. It felt good that patriotism hasn't died in journalists. It felt good someone in the media taking a tough stand. The author falls short of giving doable suggestions but then how many policymakers will read this article and responses? Chances are none and may be the author was just venting out his frustrataion. I STAND WITH the author. While media can't make policy decisions, by expressing in articles like these, authors can force the "interested people" to think and introspect.
2. My heart bled and I wept. It hurt deep. Why Mumbai? Why India? Why innocent people? But then there are places and situations in life where using logic becomes illogical.
3. I have muslim friends. One of my best friends is a pakistani muslim. I know most of the Muslim people are good. May be 1% of them are bad. Really bad. My question to all the muslim population is this: If we were to bomb and ruthlessly kill the muslim/simi/Let leaders who perpetrate voilence, will it be looked upon as an action again those small deviant group, or Islam? Chances are that people will look at it as an offensive against the entire muslim population.
