Everyone from Mumbai, everyone in Mumbai, everyone with friends or family there now, facing the fear and confusion, everyone with a heart: I am so sad for you. My own city was hit (but only once, I grant) by a terrorist. I was several hundred miles away then, and it was the most frightening day of my life. I cannot fathom what has happened, and is happening, there right now. The use of destruction and fear, death and pain as a weapon on the human spirit is beyond my comprehension.

I can't politicize this. I can't make some grand moral statement. All I can do is watch the coverage, read the articles and weep. I am so very, very sad for you. And so very, very sad for us all.
