from SLATE:
>In an op-ed piece in the NY [TIMES], Amitav Ghosh writes that calling the Mumbai attacks India's 9/11 isn't just a simple, ill-conceived metaphor; it is dangerous because the memory of that day is tangled up with the Bush administration's response. By making the comparison, the world is pressuring the Indian government to issue a comparable response, and if India follows Bush's path "the consequences are sure to be equally disastrous." India should instead follow Spain's example of how it responded to the March 11, 2004, train bombings in Madrid.<

they should falsely blame it on the Basque ETA?
