Gaza…pain…insensitivity…inaction

As if the pain caused by Mumbai wasn’t enough, we have another another version happening some way across the globe over the past couple of weeks. And this time we don’t have terrorists discreetly charting naval territory in some inflatable run-of-the-mill boats. They arrive in sophisticated F-16s and Apaches, dump tonnes of firepower on hapless beings, the majority of whom don’t have anything better than a rock to use as anti-aircraft artillery, some of whom had probably just about started attending primary school, entire families wiped out, all in the name of being ‘forced’ to don the garb of murdererers.

What does worry me a bit, and what I would want to know is the response there is to an atrocity of this nature here. Going by the outcry witnessed post Mumbai, I hope there is some kind of a public opinion which gets vented (something which I haven’t seen or heard yet, or maybe I haven’t tapped the right information sources yet).
