More people die of road accidents each day than the total tally of the Mumbai carnage. The whole point is all that is immaterial. But getting attacked by a bunch of nuts from across the border (I am sure their govt is in cahoots with them) is war. We may fight among ourselves, pull down mosques, stone temples, hindus kill muslims and muslims kill hindus, etc. But when an outsider attacks us, the fact that those internal differences were forgotten in that one night, tells me that the issue was far more important than the others. What was being attacked was our freedom and our sovereignty, our self respect, our very existence. Lukhman
