And the terror reigns struck again ...

Should be i ashamed to say that terror attacks are happening at intervals as regular as some major sporting events - 2006, 2008, 2011 ??? Do i expect one in 2013 again or should we give them the benefit of doubt and say they can plan a lot quicker this time and have another event in 2012 ???


Why.. why do we have to be the only ones who suffer ? Why does the common man who is going about his daily work and returning to his awaiting family have to endure this tragedy and some wouldn't even return back home to see their loved ones ? what have does innocent shop keepers done to have their livelihood, their shops, their life long earnings blown up like this ?

I sincerely believe we have become a soft target for terror. They know they can get away with anything since we don't take a stand and strong action. When the perpetrator from the 2008 attacks are still enjoying a comfortable life in jail, why should we assume that those involved in smaller intensity attacks would be caught and punished ? We have tried with dialogues and talks; now maybe it's time we "DO" something.

Anyway despite all i have said, i know very little is going to be done. Have i turned pessimistic ??? No it's just the realist in me talking...
