Mumbai

I was stunned to discover Mumbai is the former title for Bombay. Equally surprised to learn that Pakistan was part of India until 1947. Thereafter many Muslims moved to Pakistan and Hindus moved to the new boundary of India. As we know it today, India has a youth population of kids under 18 equal in size to that of our entire American population, 300 million.
Of course we have a global economy. Along with China, and all the rest of the world, the middle class is going to be crowded. It is what everyone strives for and wants to exceed. Our current financial crisis no doubt reflects the problems with all this growth. I feel confident that great minds are able to resolve this and all political and economic dilemma as they occur.
It is evident that the criminal global counterpart, a deviant mind set, wants to use the threat of death as a way to obtain power in an extreme and selfish way. Non repenting CEOism is a twitch that requires a firm "oh no you don't" before a revolution is more ingrained in our own country. Although originally within legal contractual agreements the similarity to hijacking oil freighters does not go unnoticed. Its because they can.
The Mumbai attack could be a retaliation against the India Navy's sinking a Pirate ship recently. Somalia, where the freighters are ransomed, is a source of income to those that hold an ill will to our pursuit of happiness. Used to be the US Navy would be asked to dispatch an aircraft carrier to monitor such a problem. Although we have one President at a time its more like we are between Presidents. The general consensus, even before this last attack, is that our global life will get worse before it gets better. Let us be good to each of our friends we are going to need them.
