I don't see any reason in the world why it should become political. Al-qaeda is simply a criminal organization with no country nor political leader. let us not give it more credit than what it is.

Sad and awful. What else can be said without entering the realm of politics?

It's certainly been on my mind. And of course it's both an outrage and an abomination.

Last I heard, the Indian authorities were investigating evidence that the terrorists might have Pakistani ties, and that the attacks were related to longstanding tensions between India and Pakistan that have all too often resulted in such attacks in this region of the world before - not necessarily al Qaeda. Is this not the case?

Notwithstanding the carnage, this is a time for cool heads to prevail while the Indian authorities continue their investigations, and the civilized world gathers its resolve against such barbarism in future. There will be opportunity enough for a response - when the time is right...

Just be foreawrned that this is a precursor to it happening here in the US. I have friends in the military that recovered documents from Al-Qaeda. These documents showed that they have plans to attack US schools like what happened in Beslan and others like what happened in India.

The ebb and flow of this scourge has ancient origins.

A good read is by Enno Franzius (1969). History of the Order of Assassins. New York: Funk & Wagnalls.

I just loved it when Johnny Carson,told me to look things up.

This webpage gives a cliff notes version of the Franzius,tome.

A thread involving politics-and-religion...in the TB,paradise

No fruitful discussion can be grown from the no politics and no religion barren ground rules of talkbass.
Guess musicians must save these sorts of topics for inclusion into their works in the real world...

Talkbass...it is what it is.

Sometimes havens aren't all that they first appear to be either.

Shibumi,that a Crusader led this one.
