So glad that they employ the elderly to guard their ports. I guess there’s no retirement at age 65, in India.

You know, if these guys were targeting anything specific, it would be Jews. Regardless of where they come from. But the news doesn’t appear to want to jump to that obvious conclusion. It might produce less sympathy for reprisals, if the attack were labeled as anything ethnically inspired. And not aimed at Americans and Brits, in general.

If you are gonna kill people ATLEAST kill the person who abused you. (dont recommend that either)

When african americans were in slavery they did not go CRAZY and run around killing innocent people.

This is why they should separate religion from politics!

What does seem suspicious to me is that the Indian government can figure out the identity of 10 people (in a country of 1 billion) within 1 day of the attack. And they back up the claim by saying the men were carrying Pakistani passports.

It may be true that all were Pakistani, and perhaps directed by militant groups from Pakistan, but regardless I don’t think the attackers were waving their ID cards around.

What exactly do you know about languages in the subcontinent? There’s no “local lingo” shared by all present and former citizens of Pakistan or India. English, maybe… Also, 20-somethings born in Pakistan were never Indians..sheesh.

#14 Chuck: “That makes as much sense as the 9/11 hijackers who all carried their Saudi passports with them. They were on domestic flights. You don’t need a passport to travel on a domestic flight. How hard would it have been to get a fake driver’s license?”

If you were on a glorious suicide mission, wouldn’t you want your identity known?

Fortunately, the ISI does not have access to Pakistan’s nukes. The military does… for now. We can only hope that the military will execute a coup of fundamentalist or ISI tries to get control of them.

There is no easy answer. Having a failed nation next door is like living next to a drug addict. Always drama for no sensible reason.

If they entered the country illegally, with the intention of killing people (and perhaps escaping) why would they bring any identification with them showing their country of origin?

Wee! A truther.

>>Hmmm. The article didn’t state that they were
>>Indian. Link?

Well, they were either Indians or Pakistanis.

And until 1947, Pakistan was part of India, so until then future Pakistanis WERE Indians. After that, about 7 million Hindus and Sikhs left Pakistan for India, and the same number of Muslims left India for Pakistan. Former Indians were now Pakistanis, and former Pakistanis were now Indians.

So, as long as they could speak the local lingo, how’s a poor harbormaster to know what country they’re from? A bunch of guys who look like Indians and talk like Indians headed towards India in a boat would not draw much attention.

Why not stay on the streets mowing people down? Start fires at the base of highrises?

If its revenge for muslim insults, why not attack churches?

Can’t “send a message” if what you say/do is all jumbled up.

Terrorists are hard to figure out. Take Zorkor for instance–who wouldn’t want to live a 100 days as a fox? Analysis like that cannot be refuted.

I don’t think it was a mistake that they targeted the financial backbone of India and home of Bollywood. It’s all part of their game plan to disrupt the pillars of finance and change the framework of who controls society’s great wealth as we have known it. It won’t work considering that the current system has made life better for people than ever before.

“Its better to die once than to die again and again every day” said one of the attacker to Indian news channel. He was talking about continuous Indian brutality against Muslims in India.

Hmmm. The article didn’t state that they were Indian. Link?
