My heart is super heavy with all the news coming out of Mumbai, India. I just do not understand the violence and unrest in this world of ours and I pray for peace and safety.
With my job, I cannot get away from seeing all the news. I have to watch it and report on it. Sometimes, like during this morning's coverage of the tragedy in Mumbai, I just have to shake my head:
TV HOST - "We are joined now by a leading expert in Terrorist Studies. Thank you so much Mr. X for being here to analyze the situation in Mumbai for us.
Mr X - "It is very nice to be here today."
OK - wait a minute, you are a terrorist expert, you will be analyzing a horrific situation unfolding - and 1) you greet the host with a huge flashy smile and 2) you think it is nice to be there?
Nice is being on vacation, nice is enjoying a cup of tea or chatting about spring weather - the fact that your expertize is even required is not NICE...it is quite sad, actually... it is tragic.
TV HOST - "Thanks so much Mr. X. We will be definitely speaking to you again."
Mr. X - "I'm looking forward to it..." (grin. grin.)
Looking forward to it?!?!?! What a sad world we live in when there has to be terror specialists... let alone one anxious to relate his knowledge to current events.
Think of how the world would be if there was no NEED for a terror specialist. Now, that would be a nice place to be. Wouldn't it?
My heart goes out to everyone impacted by this tragedy.
I pray for peace.
I pray for a nice place to be... and a nice place to raise my children.
I pray for nice.

Seriously, you have to question whether they really grasp the horrible nature of what they are talking about. Incredible.
Wow. That is just terrible they presented themselves and the coverage in that fashion.
My hearts goes out to everyone impacted by this tragedy.
I'm praying for peace with you.
Some of these so-called journalists and experts. It's no wonder things are the way they are.
