Words of wisdom from Mumbai

A letter by a Mumbaikar in the July 29 Economist wins honorable mention and deserves to be quoted:

Sir –
So mayhem in Mumbai means a solution to Kashmir must be found. Yet when the same treatment was meted out to London there was little push for action to resolve Iraq or the other “situations” that feed the war on terror. The old bias persists. In the developing world we deserve what we get, while in the West innocence and good intentions are taken for granted.

Shabaash, Dominic. Unfortunately, the weekly award for incoherence and fuzzy logic too goes to a Mumbaikar. Read that letter here (the first letter in the section).
