A tragedy is an accident or Act of God where no human action is to blame, and no person can be faulted.
Please call it a massacre, butchery, or carnage, but please don't call it a tragedy. That word has the effect of relieving the perpetrators of their guilt, and over time has the tendency to diminish the righteous outrage decent people should feel over the crime these killers have committed.
Mumbai is deep into India and is the "Gateway" to the country. this terrorist group had to smuggle weapons and the terrorists themselves very, very deep into the country. That is unless they arrived by sea since Mumbai is on the ocean's coast.
This is such a tragedy and so sad. My husband has stayed at the Taj Mahal Hotel in the past when he had business with Kingfisher Airlines. He came home shaken up last night because he had been on the phone with the Seattle office VP who was in India at the time, but fortunately opted to stay at the Grand Hyatt this time instead of the Taj. He has been on the phone today to make sure the guy is still ok.
My prayers are with the families of the injured and dead and for a quick resolution to this.
