Carnage in Bombay

Its extremely saddening to hear about the multiple bomb blasts in India's financial hub yesterday evening. Plainly put this is an utterly disgusting act of barbarity which only brings grief and suffering to all the victims and their families. Most victims were apolitical people, their only concern was making a livelihood so that they and their families can have food on the table, they certainly did not deserve this.

Ultimately terrorism achieves nothing, killing innocent civilians just piles up more misery on existing human misery. Some will say its a war out there, " its THEM against US". But then if you scrutinize every religion closely, you will realise that the first rule of war is that killing civilians are strictly a big NO! . For example the insurgency in Iraq, what do the insurgents achieve by blowing up children on the way to school? yeah the invasion and occupation of Iraq is wrong and done under dubious reasons, but still I'm sure the insurgents are bringing upon more misery to the general population ( whom they claim to fight for) than the Americans themselves.

There is plenty of misery in our world today, we certainly need no more.
