We have this joke alias in our company where some dude keeps sending daily mails called Sip of the Day. I have accumulated over 70 such mails (shows how sincerely I work :-p). But today for a change, I decided to read the latest one and saw a link for the Anatomy of a Suicide Attack Reading the blog and seeing the pictures was very disturbing...scary! The kid shown is smiling after making the bomb, not caring about the fact that soon he himself will be blown to pieces by the bomb he has made! And the fact that there are hundreds of them around is not comforting at all!
After all, in India as well, bomb attacks have become very frequent and easy to execute. The Mumbai local train blasts and the blast on the Samjhauta Express being fresh in memory! Those were planned by terrorists, but now with such videos available on the net, it could be possible for anyone with access to materials (or some ingenuity) to make bombs and kill people! (There was a comment on the above blog that even in the US it's easy to do such things - we all know of instances where kids have managed to procure guns, go berserk and kill innocent kids including themselves!).
Once again, I may sound too pessimistic here, but off late, every time I try to be positive and optimistic about things, some thing like this comes up and the optimism quickly disappears :-(
