We are so wrapped up in our day-to-day lives, that at times we forget the crazy and dangerous world around us. Ten Muslim extremists went on a three day rampage in Mumbai, the second largest city in the world with 14 million people and financial hub of India, murdering over 170 innocent people (I highly suggest reading the WSJ’s coverage as it’s a fascinating tale of what happens when the evil of terrorism meets law enforcement ineptness and the carnage that follows). The pure evil, and that’s the only way to describe it, astounds me. Yet America yawns.
The number one job of any government is to protect its people. In these terms, President Bush has done a good job. We have not had a terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11/01. As a result of this success coupled with poor economic conditions, I’m afraid many Americans have again grown complacent to this threat. These acts are a reminder of the evil surrounding us.
