This is insane, 87 dead and the death toll rising. 10 attacks that were planned very well. 2 hotels a hospital and a cafe that have hostage standoffs. where is the US government along with the Britons? Wenshould have clauses with every country that if American lives are in danger we should be allowed to send in our own people with up to date weapons to get them out. We are not liked in those parts of the world and are concidered targets the minute we step off the plane. They were specificly looking for people with western passports and noone knows how many americans are being held hostage or dead. Th is city is locked down. the weapons the Indians are using look old antone know what they are?

all these pizz * countries should be held accountable for terrorist actions within their borders! ban tourists for starters until they tighten up security. if that doesnt stop the nonsense, then a trade embargo might convince them to fight the terrorists.
JMHO

Ahh, so if Paks are attacked in this country, we should allow the Pakistan army to come here and do whatever they want? Don't think so, international law does not work that way. As for the "old" guns being used by the Indian police and military, they still use a lot of FALs. (You know, the rifle that many here on gunbroker call the best battle rifle ever made?)
You can count on seeing more stuff like this in the next couple of weeks. The terrorists are going to push Barry Obama to see what they can get away with. Hopefully Barry will care enough to protect Americans and our interests.
what do you expect him to do??? invade a sovereign nation that is not linked to the terrorists (which by the way is dealing with the problem) in order to "deal with the problem"?
sounds a lot like invading the USSR to defeat the nazi invaders in WWII...

Doubtful. If anything, this is likely an attempt by Indian Muslims to internationalize the Kashmir conflict.
By targeting Americans and Britons, they not only gain a lot of street cred with other radicals, but they also manage to get the international community involved in what has so far been a purely bilateral problem between India and Pakistan.
And as India has been unwilling thus far to cede any territory to Pakistan or hold a UN-mandated referendum concerning the status of Kashmir and as Pakistan has been unable to "liberate" Kashmir from India by force of arms, their sole hope lies in getting the major powers to coerce India into giving it up ala Israel and the West Bank and Gaza.
