For anyone who missed it, here's an excellent op-ed piece by Patrick French, from yesterday's New York Times. It describes, among other things, the mindset of the terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, that appears to have carried out the Mumbai attacks: their hatred, especially hatred for democracy, Jews, and women in bikinis; and the will to power, expressed as the desire for a caliphate, this time in Central Asia.
French also demolishes all the media apologists for the terrorists, the commentators who by blaming the massacres on American foreign policy, India or whatever other excuse was handy are seeking to relieve the terrorists of any personal responsibility for their actions.
