Terrorism in Mumbai, is it all over for India?

This article is by one of the people who also wrote one of my articles for my research assignment. As I was reading the article I was thinking wow, this is really well written but I didn't know who the author was. After looking him up on google,(at first I thought he was a girl, the name sounds like mine). He is actually a really cool person who is an award winning journalist and has a high position in the UN. This is what he blogged about a week ago after the terrorist attacks on Mumbai; over it's long struggle, India has adapted to deal with tragedy. Their resilence and openness has made them strong. After earlier attack on Mumbai in 1993, stock traders went to work without computers, lights and a shattered building. They sold their stock the old fashion way, with yelling and shouting and paper. Bombs and bullets can not destroy India. Many of India's cities are open, with grand bridges welcoming those in by sea. Their mix of language, culture and 1,000's of good on the open market are found; these are all parts of great India. Now after these recent attacks India's openness can not fade, fear can not grip citizens of Mumbai, because then the terrorists win. India must continue to be the open, cultural place it was, without fear of smeared evil.
