Winnie the poohi
I try to reason out some sense some weird reason.. anything.. that could make me understand as in why some bunch of weirdos would simply kill so many people.. innocent people.. who by some quirk of fate might also be their relatives ?

Would they be then able to face themselves in the mirror ?

Even without it too.. may be.. they should be made to clear the mess they create.. so many burnt bodies.. torn into pieces..

some of them must be having those big dreams.. which would now never come true..

Do they even stop to think ?

If it really helped their cause even... one can rationalize it as "war".. but that doesnt even happen..

We have become so insensitive to these bomb blasts that.. they remain nothing but "breaking news" that we follow for some days and then forget.. ofcourse not for the near n dear ones of the people who died...

And still life goes on.. and this story becomes stale..

Does these terrorist really achieve anything ?

Just take a look at the time line of blasts..

    And even if they do.. does it justify it in any weird way ?

    I think not :(

      I agree with on that the need serious psychiatric care. Some nut is just pulling their strings and they are going along and punishing innocent people.
      The movie 'wednesday' really comes to mind. Seems to me that the common man might as well take the law into his own hands.


    9. What we have seen these last two days invokes a deep sense of shame and anger. It is time we stop taking things for granted, accept meekly the established rhetoric spawned by self serving politicians and a media that fears stepping out of line.

      Its time we face the facts and the facts are clear...its is not sadism or any psychological problem, but an ideology that is driving these men who become terrorist, an ideology as anti-human as the Fascists or the Nazis or the Khmer Rouge. These movements were stopped only by facing their ideologies head on, by neutralizing the ideology, the thought and this was done in the greater interest of humanity at large, who want to live in peace and prosperity. If we want to fight against the terror spawned by Islamic ideology we will have to do the same and same goes for any other ideology that foments terror.

      The frequency of attacks in post 2004 era also show that the established regime has some serious problems in contending with terror, probably it is a lack of resolve and determination from these gentlemen, but which is exacting great cost from the multitudes of India.
