As the Taj Mahal hotel burns, Mumbai weeps, a Singaporean husband is devastated. Satellite phone traces point to Karachi. I struggle to comprehend how young men, not yet 20, can be persuaded to destroy lives, and give up their own lives. Did Ali Jinnah foresee this, when he called for Direct Action, when he fought for "Two Nations". Separate them, keep them apart, if they can't get along. Half a century later, it doesn't seem to have worked.
