India Train Bombings

Another set of bombings, but this time in the city formerly known as Bombay. As an emergency management major at UNT, I've done a lot of case studies on terrorism, and yet it never ceases to amaze me what a group of people with a perverted sense of reality can do.

At this point, the world has yet to really know which of two suspected groups is responsible for the multiple blasts that rocked Mumbai at rush hour. News reports speculate the Hindus were targeted by a group of Islamic terrorists who claims to have been wronged over the decades. They skew Islamic teachings in an attempt to justify their terrorist actions. It's a shame that as many as 100 lives have been taken...all in the name of revenge.

It is the HEARTS that must be changed not the mind. What was in the hearts of the terrorist on 9/11 is what we need to be wary of. The heart is what drives the mind.

I don't think any of us will ever forget where we were and who we were with that tragic day. I couldn't tell you the last time I talked to my dad in VA but I can tell you I was at work in Fredericksburg, VA and we heard there was still a plane in the air. I left work and picked up my 3 kids ( at the time there was 3) We snuggled on the couch for days after that. We knew the end was coming. Yet here we sit 5 years later. The only thing I could think of is did I spen enough time with them, did I tell them I loved them enough, and will we all end up in heaven together. I wish we as a country could remember how we stood united in those first days and bring only that feeling of unity back to the USA.
