And I hear ya 70Chip. The best example of leadership is being at the forefront imo, and that's exactly what that Hemant Karkare was doing. His family should be proud of him, although I'm sure they are going to be grieving along with everybody else now that it's over. My heart goes out to all the victims in this, I can't imagine the pain and trouble they are going through right now.
I society without such turmoil and violence? I guess your talking about living in the USA but have you looked at how many people are killed here each year in our inner cities or all over the US for that matter. People talk about how many we have lost in Iraq but we have lost alot more kids here at home in senseless killings. It just becomes a blurb in the news and things move on. If you look at the terrorist deaths in India over the past couple of years and our death rates here we would win that sad race easy. Just yesterday we thought back to what happend to us here in Redskins Nation with the killing ST but that happens countless times everyday here in the US. While I agree to a point with what you said I just don't think we are free from the terror in our own street by our own people.
