A reader of Instapundit writes about the Mumbai attacks:
This was not an Al Qaeda operation. This was planned and conducted by Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence Agency.
Initially I thought that such an attack would be too explicit for the ISI. But really, what does the ISI have to lose? What options does India have for retaliating back at a nuclear-armed, Islamist-infested failure of a nation?
An excellent observation in a long post here:
Things with India are extremely different. Here Pakistan’s enmity with India is historic. As a matter of fact, some may say that the very reason of Pakistan’s existence is a rejection of the fundamental principles behind India—secularism, pluralism and equality for all.
[Emphasis mine.]
Exactly.
An asinine post at Lahore Metblogs:
It’s about that the Indian media stop its propaganda and do some soul searching as to the actual reasons behind these attacks. A good starting point maybe, the state of Muslims in India.
DesiPundit has the appropriate response:
So let me get this straight, the way to improve the state of Muslims in India is to get pleasure in killing innocents, target foreigners, and hold a hospital for women & children hostage for hours. If the educated elite in Pakistan is anything like this moron, then I fear for Pakistan.
Most of them do take pleasure in the death of innocents. Ask Pakistanis about how they felt watching thousands of souls being extinguished on that dark September day in 2001. The response is a sick smile.
Latest information:
As of this writing, there were a reported 151 people killed from 11 different countries - though nearly 100 were Indian. More than 300 injuries have also been reported - those numbers may yet rise as several hostage situations still exist in the city.
There are some graphic images at that site.

What would they have to gain?
UAE to give $1bn to Pakistan
$$ recognition for a jihad well done?
P.S. - as I waited for this comment to load, I couldn't help but notice the Emirates ad on the right hand side bar.
Anonymous,
How are you viewing our blog?
We don't have advertising on our blog. If you are using some sort of blogreader thingie, then maybe they are placing ads on our blog.
The ad was at the link - too many windows were open and overlapping giving the impression it was IBA.
My error.
Glad to hear it. It bothers me when people try to make money off of something we don't try to make money off of ourselves.
Google has the right to do what they want, because they give us the right to do this blog by paying for it. But, when other slip ads in here, it bothers me.
