Not that I intended my very first post on this blog to be about such a morbid topic, but I cannot but help notice that every where I turn to there is talk about murder and mayhem. Just yesterday the authorities in UK, with the help of the Pakistani government averted what could have been the worst disaster the world has seen since the infamous 911 attacks on the United States. To cut a long story short – some guys, suspected to be British citizens of Pakistani origin got it into their head to blow up a few airliners over the atlantic ocean. Thankfully there were apprehended before the crazy scheme could go through, this time.. See more on this still developing story.
On the other side of my world, there is a Red Alert in India before the nation’s 60th independence day. They are expecting someone to do something – no one knows exactly what, but one can assume its going to involve someone trying to kill a bunch of innocent people in Delhi or Mumbai. The Indian government is on alert but is underplaying it, the US government has put its citizens on alert (read the official letter ). Wonder if the Indian government should put its citizens on alert in the US ??!! That would be a first, but does’nt it make sense? Is’nt the US or UK or any other country in the world as safe as any other in Asia or Africa? The world we live in is becoming a scary place…
