moth, please don't misunderstand me..I am not trying in any way to belittle previous attacks or loss of life (all of which is precious), nor am I insinuatng that this is "more real" merely because of the fact that it seems like Westerners were some of the targets and the international media is all over it.
I was merely trying to say the scope of the attacks, it's well planned and sustained nature, the obvious means of outside support needed to mount and launch such an operation (targeting not only westerners, but indian polititicians and law enforcement, hospitals, and the small local jewish community), along with what seems like sophisticated intelligence, transportation, timing weapons and communication usage puts this on a different scale than guys with homemadebombs on trains, irrespective of loss of life that results.
The events in Mumbai yesterday are horrific and suggest a sophisticationand an escalation of ability aboveprevious levels - in that sense in mirrors the 9-11 event, with similar responses from the media and the world.
I hope that clears up my thinking.
