Mumbai under terrorist attack!

Three entire days have been spent in front of the TV - shocked, scared, worried, saddened, praying and hoping that this terror attack comes to an end, soon!! Whether we are in Mumbai or miles away from it, this violation of our security has shook us to the core...

Repeated announcements that it's all over at one or the other sites, only to be followed by gun shots and grenade explosions... WHEN WILL THIS END? Our prayers go out to the lives lost and their families, and we stand behind, salute and honor the brave soldiers and citizens who have been fighting against the terrorist, tirelessly.  The real heroes are our security forces, the Commandoes, NSG, Army, Police Force, and all the civilians (staff and guests trapped inside the different sites). The Indian Media and the world media has been reporting non-stop, discussing, interviewing, taking opinion, and covering the events as it happens, live on national TV... I think they need to step back and they need to be held responsible and need to understand what they are doing... can the journalists stop dramatizing the events, and can they stop giving away strategic information, which has and is only aiding the terrorists and their accompli. Enough is enough, this is not a time for the media and journalists to glorify themselves, but a time for the armed forces to carry out their mission!! Everyone except the armed forces needs to be sealed out of the areas under attack, and kept in the dark regarding critical strategic information, so the forces can carry out their mission successfully. It is clear that these terrorists are very well planned, organized and highly skilled, and that they were able to get a lot of compromising information through satellite phones and powerful walkie-talkie's, and all the information disclosed on the news channels has only helped them... please STOP!

We can only pray and hope that the media learns their lesson from this and that the armed forces are able to carry out their mission and end this... end this very soon!

I am still glued to the TV, every time I think about moving away or switching it off, I hear an explosion and sit right back... live TV - real TV... we all are addicted to it and we all encourage it, and we all are to blame... but we need to draw a line and stop!
