An Eye for A Life? It's time for Change....

Two Canadians were killed in this week's series of deadly attacks on targets in Mumbai.  Montreal physician Michael Moss, shown in this undated handout photo has been identified as one of two Canadians killed in the Mumbai attacks. 

Attacks were carried out at 10 locations across India's financial capital including two luxury hotels, a crowded train station, a hospital and a popular cafe.  Moss was a British trained general practitioner who immigrated to Manitoba from England more than 30 years ago, according to a Dr. Ron Ludman, one of his colleagues in Montreal. He was traveling in Mumbai on vacation.  Ludman was told his daughter died last Wednesday. Dr. David Wiegens, said Moss will be sorely missed.  Montreal actor Michael Rudder is recovering from three bullet wounds received during the Mumbai attacks.  The Canadian government had already confirmed that two Canadians were among those injured in the coordinated gun and grenade attacks.
Montreal voice actor Michael Rudder, a past Genie Award nominee who was visiting India with a U.S. meditation group, was one of the two Canadians wounded.
When militants stormed one of the city's hotels, he suffered three gunshot wounds, but has undergone surgery and is recovering in the critical care wing of a Mumbai hospital.
A bullet grazed Helen Connolly of Markham, Ontario, just outside Toronto, a yoga instructor.

Two other American members of the meditation group, Alan Scherr, 58, and his daughter, Naomi, 13, were killed in the attack.  It seems this was like a pilgrimage, but turned into an "intense, terrifying experience.  Police officers inspect a car after they shot dead two suspected gunmen in Mumbai late Wednesday night.  But the battle to free hostages continued at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel and a Jewish center as security forces clashed with the militants responsible for the attacks.  According to reports earlier Thursday, six foreigners were killed, including at least one Australian, a Japanese and a British national. A German and an Italian were also killed, according to the foreign ministries in the two countries.

The attacks were launched on Wednesday night, as militants armed with rifles and grenades attacked the sprawling city of about 13 million people. The gunmen struck a total of 10 sites, including a packed train station, a restaurant popular with tourists, the Jewish community center, hospitals and the two luxury hotels.  Most of the dead were Indian nationals many of whom died in the attack on a train station as gunmen fired indiscriminately on waiting passengers.

Survivors of the hotel attacks said the gunmen spoke and said they were specifically targeted Britons and Americans.  At least 150 people are now confirmed to have died in the attack. I don't wish for the bad things I look forward to the good things but when does one set the standard or again do we just sit and let it all happen again...

Regardless of where the people came from these terrorists have to come to an end. We are not talking the "Sadam's" or the "Bin Ladens" of the world or any other just a group - actually many groups that are much different than you or I.

We all should be able to live in our own lives without all this taking place at this time. Many would think it's the fault up opening eight years ago something that has not been open since centuries ago.

Regardless, I do believe in life and not in this....it's not about the Middle East - it's about a disruptive mission of fanatics that have gone bad.   Now with Obama in place nearly and as well with various other well versed industrialized countries that have a military (well each of ours has been grown to be tired)...

My aspiration is that this as well as the economy gets is the top of the list.
