That's the biggest insult of all to terrorists, when you just take care of your wounded and dead, and then act like their actions are just a drop in an ocean.<BR/><BR/>I always thought that the best thing America could have done after 9/11 would have been been to rebuild the towers exactly the way they were before, as quickly as possible. If the whole country had brought it's resources to bear, in a focused manner, those towers would have been rebuilt in a year. Think of what a psychological blow that would be to any terrorist. Here they are thinking they struck a mighty blow against the infidel, and lo, shit is back to normal, lickity-split.Horseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512910791563482705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-1152789850645225482006-07-13T16:54:00.000+05:302006-07-13T16:54:00.000+05:30i love mumbai. i cannot tell how isolated and vex...i love mumbai. i cannot tell how isolated and vexing it feels to be stranded in this bland, shackled, sheltered faux existence here in the uk. i mean aiims campus hasbeen the hotbed for revolutionary activity the past months, that's my home! now these bombs. i'm not saying i want to be in on the action because only an idiot uses phrases like that but i don't want to be here. i want to be home. i ant to be in india. i don't want to read affronting westrn newspapers that have one article on the matter. if we were a richer, whiter country perhaps they'd care. i want to be where people share the same anxieties and aspirations. not in the uk. not in usa, though nyc sparkles in my dreams every night. mumbai shines brighter. mumbai is the birthplace of independent neha. i'll tell you why in person. so now i'm going to stop compulsively scouring blogs and newspaper for information or answers. i understand my restlessness. the attack on the mumbai local is an attack on that very freedom i tasted on my first local train ride, alone finding my way to an address i couldn't even mentally map in my head. and it was exhilarating. someone has attempted to tarnish that memory and that possibility. to insitll this 'just in case' weariness in us. yet again. the just in case weariness alludes to thinking twice when u go to a movie theatre on indpendence day or any public holiday or waking up every morning to be innundated with news of bombs and strife and then walkign around crowded public spaces thinking, damn what if someone burst a bomb here.......and someone did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-1152783664089525092006-07-13T15:11:00.000+05:302006-07-13T15:11:00.000+05:30*Life's greatest moments are when you realise thin...*Life's greatest moments are when you realise things in context* That's so true. Anyway, doesn't it feel weird to see things are probably the way it was nine years back? For me things are not the same at all. So sometimes I wish I could experience the same things once more and feel the same way as I did before...ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567332895636455646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-1152696965633840542006-07-12T15:06:00.000+05:302006-07-12T15:06:00.000+05:30Hi eM.
