Peace to India

I am listening online to the BBC about the attacks in Mumbai. To those who have lost friends and loved ones, my deepest condolences! To my friends Ruby, Anne, Radha, Kabir, Manjoc, and others, I share your fear & anger at this outrageous behaviour.

The world has been globally touched by the actions of a few who seek to destroy, rather than talk, work for change, to rebuild. We have to be blind to say injustice does not exist. But to seek justice through destruction simply does not work. It only alienates. And I assume injustice--or a sense of injustice--is at the root of such acts. Even so, I can not understand the mentality that justifies this path of destruction and pain. How can one bomb a hospital or a train station thinking this will bring about resolution or sympathy for one's cause?

Fighting for peace? Maybe that's the problem concept. Think about!
