Interesting to see the US news like CNN and MSNBC jump through hoops to put an American angle on these attacks in India. How the targets were Western is the over-riding theme.
That and tying anything muslim, a la Kashmir-Pakistan, to al-Qaeda. Trying to tie Al-Qaeda to the attacks, using "al-Qaeda-like" to describe everything. The luxury hotels attacked are described as "used by US travelers", always mentioning that US citizens were targeted. So, by association America has, yet again, been attacked by al-Qaeda.
And there's always the "could this happen in your town?" angle they try to put you in the middle on the horror.
I'm sure the Right is typing out their "How Obama will be tested" even as Bush hides out in the White House basement.
Maybe this is between Pakistan and India and has nothing to do with us.
