Even as the horror of the attacks in Mumbai is still unfolding, I am beginning to worry about what will happen in the days to come. Will this lead to a bigger unrest and greater destruction around the world, should we expect or even hope that anything will change for the better, will we have moved on and forgotten about the indiscriminate slaughter of hundreds of people, and would forgetting in fact be the most appropriate response to terrorism and a luxury we can hope for.

It may be too early to worry about this. But, I feel fear. I hope this is not a prelude to a war.
