Tough times ahead

Back to back bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad. Where next?
This question is there in the minds of everyone. Mom and Dad called up from Shimla saying they are targetting BJP ruled states and I'm living in one such state, Madhya Pradesh. But than Himachal Pradesh is also a BJP ruled state, I told Dad trying to convince him that there is hardly anything that one can do about it. The fact is that the merchants of death can strike at will where ever they wish to.
That Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh or for that matter any other place where terror blasts have so far not reached, is becuase the perpetrators have chosen to keep it like that. It would be unfair to blame the police. Untill and unless each and everyone of us is cautious and always on the look out for suspicious objects, it will not be possible to prevent what happened in Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
I have not heard of a single terror strike in the United States after 9/11. How the Americans have made it possible must be understood.
