Wowed Beyond Belief at Mumbai Terrorist Attack

It's absolutely unbelievable what has happened in Mumbai. This is an attack that had gone on for nearly 59 hours. Many civilian places targetted, many civilians murdered for what the terrorists claim was their religion.

It's amazing that while the human death toll is at the time of writing about 20 times less than that of the 9/11 attacks, the psychological power of this attack was just as strong, if not more.

These terrorists were faceless, I have only seen a few pictures, and that was when they were in action, with most of the images being grainy.
The best picture that could be found shows a young guy. He looks like a guy I would sit next to in my biology class and would be the type of guy who'd fight tooth and nail to get into medical school. It's hard to believe that indoctrination created what could have been brilliant people who would save the world into people who create more havoc.

Just looking at this attack, it is something that has wowed me. Watching images online for the most part is something very interesting. At the end of the siege at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, there was a cell phone picture of what appeared to be the body of a terrorist who had jumped to his death from the window.

The image of the body with a gun and blood around was very gruesome, but allowed a human element at the same time, something that just wasn't seen in the mainstream media. We heard the term 'gunmen' so often that we were desensitized to it and had the thought that it was just a bunch of raving and well-coordinated lunatics running around with religion as the mentality.

Still, this attack was terrible, and while my scribbling here is any indication of my attitude towards this now-over siege, I'm still stunned...
