Re: Bomb blasts in Bombay...
My sincere condolonces to the victims in Mumbai. Really another regretable event.. 
But I hope that people in Mumbai specifically and India generally would not be raged and make an unwise and hasty decision, that same mistake the Americans did after 9/11. What I afraid of most not that India would go to war with another country (which could be a big disaster itself), but whats more dangerous is the Indian people going to war with each other, religious clash as seen before. I hope not to see that kind of news..
from your discussions (which is off-topic ), you guys are saying about educating the people so that they would not be manipulated easily by the politicians, but who is going to educate them, and by what means? if education system(schools & college) and media (tv, & newspaper) is the only means of education accessible to most people, and it is controlled by the goverment which is run by bad politicians, I don't see any hope..
some might say that in western developed countries (US/UK.. etc), the people are more educated, yes, very true, but they are not well informed or exposed. They might know everything about internet banking or the DNA structure in detail (i'm exagerating here ) but do they know how to differenciate a muslim fundamentalist and a terrorist? you see my point is not blaming the people, rather the blame is on the leaders, the law makers, the goverments, most presidents are more concerned about his presidency rather that the country and its peoples..! They are slaves to their idealism rather that serving the people that same idealism preaches, I see that most religions and most idealism(maybe except facism and others similar) are meant to serve the people and bring a better life to them, look at socialism, how noble the idea is, but how it is when put to practical under Stalin.. ok.. I better stop now..
peace to the world... I don't think I can change the world to be better, so I'll just try my best to change myself.
