There is still sporadic gun fire and explosions in Mumbai (Bombay). This has been a well orchestrated attack and more information is coming out about the attacks. 3 Pakistanis were arrested and shed information on who has done the attack. Lashkar-e-Tayiba are a terrorist group associated with Al Queda and have helped the Indian Mujahideeen, but carried out this attack themselves.
The terrorists have taken hostages in a Jewish center and at least 5 believed to be killed. The terrorists also have attacked hospitals and train stations.

But in the face of danger and the chaos many have become heroes and saved many lives. Staff from the Taj Majal Hotel saved many lives and stayed calm throughout and helped many escape the gunmen.
“The hotel staff has been very, very brave,” Mangeshikar said. “Hats off to them.”
As we go farther and farther from 9/11, we have become lulled into thinking the Islamo-Fascist threat is over. As we can see with the attacks on Mumbai, they are not beaten. Hopefully this will shed light to all of us that the threat from the Islamo-Fascists is real and that they will stop at nothing until the whole world is Mislim.
What we do as a nation will have an impact on the rest of the world, and I hope that Obama will have the fortitude and not give in the the Islamo-Fascists. I know I do not agree with much with Obama, but I do know that he wants to do what isbestfor this country and the world, and with a little Hope, maybe he can be that President. Hopefully he will not follow Clinton’s footsteps and go after the Terrorists Jusdicially and will go after them Militarily. time will tell, but we must help Obama if he makes the right decision and critisize him if he makes the wrong decision.
