Again, I hate to interrupt personal diatribes and childish spats about "Islam is bad...Islam is good" for news about, you know, the actual topic, but in case anyone is interested and hasn't thrown up their hands and moved on, the death toll is now up to 160. The hostages at the Jewish center have all been killed, including two children. At least one terrorist is still holed up in the Taj hotel; 30 people are dead at the Oberjoi hotel but the remaining live hostages have been rescued. Several Indian police officers have been killed, including the chief of their anti-terrorist unit. It's been a horrible tragedy for the people of Mumbai.
India is now outright stating that the terrorists came from Pakistan; Pakistan is flat denying it (how they can deny it, I don't know, since the guys spoke Pakistani... but apparently the Pakistani government is sticking with the "if we don't admit it, it doesn't exist" school of thought.)
The ramifications of this tragedy could be huge. I feel terrible for the people of India. This really is their "9-11".
Makes ya feel like nuking the bastards. Scum.
