I have to plead ignorance on this one: but there was a terrorist hit on Jaipur yesterday.
Obviously, with the acts of God impinging elsewhere in Burma* and China, the act of man takes to the back pages; but let us not miss the point: more people were killed and maimed in Jaipur than in the London Bombings of July 2005, so why is the news buried?
(*Curiously, there IS oil in Burma, so I'm not sure why the forces of righteousness in the west (OK: America) aren't prepared to intervene against the Saddam-style military regime there in the face of the savage indifference against the suffering people. )
Anyway, if the human suffering of 9/11 ; Madrid & the London Bombings were supposed to bring humanity closer together, then let's allow the others in; put Jaipur on the front page.
