After getting the news the helplessness of those innocent victims kept playing in
my mind. Where are we heading, in the name of civilization?
After hearing the news, some of the bloggers were also concerned whether neighbor Bangladesh would be linked with the incident.
This concern has been captured in the comments section here where Hasib asks:হাসিব বলেছেন: বাংলাদেশীà¦-ো দায়ি কৈরা পà§à¦°à§‡à¦¸à¦¨à§à¦Ÿ আইছে à¦à¦¹à¦¨à¦¤à¦°à¦¿? …
Hasib: Have they issues any press note yet, holding Bangladesh responsible for these attacks?…

America has recently been involved in diplomatic dialogue with the 3 countries aka India-Pakistan-Afghanistan, McCain is to arrive shortly. As soon as Obama becomes President,
there is a possibility of America attacking the Pak-Afghan border. Maybe this is a taste of things to come. Always it is the common, innocent bystander that are victimized in all this kind of
drama.
But a bigger worry that bloggers in Bangldesh are expressing is of the possible fallout of this event on the upcoming Bangladesh elections. Shamima Sumi puts this worry into
perspective with these wordsà¦à¦‡à¦à¦¾à¦¬à§‡ চলতে থাকলে আমাদের দেশে à¦à¦° পà§à¦°à¦à¦¾à¦¬ পড়বে সামনে নিরà§à¦¬à¦¾à¦šà¦¨à¥¤ আমরা অনেকদিন পর à¦à¦•à¦Ÿà¦¾ নিরà§à¦¬à¦¾à¦šà¦¨ আশা করছি। যা হলে দেশে নাকী à¦-ণতনà§à¦¤à§à¦° আসবে। à¦-ণতনà§à¦¤à§à¦°à¦‡ আসà§à¦• আর যাই আসà§à¦• সরকার নিয়া তো কেউ বৈধতার পà§à¦°à¦¶à§à¦¨ তà§à¦²à¦¤à§‡ পারবে না। কিনà§à¦¤à¦¾ à¦à¦¾à¦°à¦¤à§‡à¦° অবসà§à¦¥à¦¾ দেখে মনে হচà§à¦›à§‡ আমরা বà§à¦à¦¿ অনেকটা পিছিয়ে যাব। আমার আর সহà§à¦¯ হয় না। তাজে হামলাকারিরা কী চায়G
If this kind of thing goes on then it is bound to have an impact
on Bangladesh, where our elections are round the corner. We are waiting for these elections, hoping that it will restore our democratic process. Democracy or not, at least with an elected government,
no one will be able to question its legal standing. But seeing the situation in India, it worries me that it may impede this process. Oh, this is unbearable! What do these terrorists who have attacked
the Taj hotel want?
Blogger Z Zaman expresses hope that the elections will bring in a new dawn in Bangladesh,
that it will be a strong statement against terrorism.আমরা আর জঙà§à¦-ীবাদ à¦" দà§à¦°à§à¦£à¦¿à¦¤à§€à¦¬à¦¾à¦œ চকà§à¦°à§‡à¦° আবরà§à¦¤à§‡ আর বনà§à¦¦à¦¿ হতে চাইনা।আমরা ২০০৮ à¦à¦° নিরà§à¦¬à¦¾à¦šà¦¨à§‡à¦° মাধà§à¦¯à¦®à§‡ নতà§à¦¨ অধà§à¦¯à¦¾à§Ÿà§‡à¦° শà§à¦°à§ দেখতে চাই।নিরà§à¦¬à¦¾à¦šà¦¨à§‡ দà§à¦°à§à¦£à¦¿à¦¤à§€à¦¬à¦¾à¦œ à¦" জঙà§à¦-ীবাদের বিরà§à¦¦à§à¦§à§‡ রায় দিন।
We do not want to be imprisoned in this circle of terrorism and corruption any more.
Through the 2008 elections we want the beginning of a new chapter. In this election vote against corruption and terrorism
