Dark days

Some pretty terrible things are happening these days around the world. Train bombings in Mumbai, India took over 200 lives during rush hour. So far no group has stepped forward to accept responsibility. In the middle-east, Israel is attacking Lebanon in retaliation for the kidnapping of 2 soldiers by the Hezbollah party. In return Hezbollah is likely responsible for rocket attacks against northern parts of Israel. In the middle of this are the civilians paying the price. The USA is already drawn thin with the war in Iraq but there is a need for the international community to step in and stop the war. There are some pictures demonstrating the suffering being cause by both sides.

My thoughts are with all those affected by these terrible events. The militant behavior of the Hezbollah party and the excessive retaliation by Israel are both unacceptable. Tom wrote here about the bombing in India.
