Mumbai train bombs

My first thought when I heard about the train bombs was: "Oh my goodness, is pop in India right now?" I'm glad to see that she wasn't on that train, and that she is alright. (I think.)

We are so inundated with terrible news that we only "feel" it when it hits close to home: someone we know or somewhere we've been before, and suddenly we think, "It could have been me," as if that makes the tragedy so much worse.

Terrorism really brings out the worst in us.
