Mumbai Attacked - 26-November-2008

As Mumbai stays awake watching TV and hoping that the current crisis situation ends, I realise that a lot of people have a lot of resentment, and the words 'Just kill all those bad guys' are resounding in a lot of heads. At a certain time, I honestly thought the same thing. And then I was reminded of this interview on Larry King Live of a certain Iraqi guy. He said something along these lines...

"If I get into your house and shoot your child, and rape your wife and blow up everything you own, kill all your relatives, what will you want to do?'"

Larry King replied "I would retaliate".

To which the man said "So why don't you understand if I want to retaliate."

He was talking about the situation in Iraq obviously, something that we get informed about mostly through American News Agencies. But if I want to kill these guys who are in Taj now, and if someone identifies this sentiment in me, and brainwashes me, wouldnt I also turn into one of these guys?

What is causing this sentiment? This hatred towards everything? We don't know everything, honestly, we make most of our judgements based on half truths. God save us!
