7. I was just out for lunch

and NPR was reporting the same number as well as hundreds injured and both numbers expected to rise. I work with a lot of people from India and they seem to be having (what appears to me) an odd reaction. They are just kind of shaking their heads and saying that this is becoming a fact of life in India, with bombings happening all the time.

8. I certainly hope this isn't commonplace for India

at least not on this scale.

6. Prayers for the people of India

I can't believe there isn't a greater response to this tragedy on these boards. What gives??

9. I fear things have gotten too political

We can not ignore things like this, just because there is no political benifit in it for us.

11. Agreed

Had this happened in Iraq, there would be dozens of threads by now. I have many coworkers with family over there. An event on this scale is NOT commonplace and they are worried sick.

It's no lesser tragedy because it happened in India. It's a sad testimony to what our political discourse has become.

10. 135 people dead now

I'm watching BBC while listening to CSpan3.
