After the Terror in Mumbai

It was already India’s most cosmopolitan city, financial center, Bollywood movie hub. Now, it’s a familiar front-page map — a blood-stained city guide of terrorist destruction.

The Leopold Cafe. The Taj Mahal hotel. The train station. The Jewish welcome center. And on, and on.

Today, Mumbai is already back on its feet. But its three days of terrorist guns and grenades are still echoing loudly, dangerously, from India to Pakistan to Washington.
