Sorry Sanjay, but I beat you to the punch by about 30 seconds. Though I am skeptical of their reasons! |

I'm sure the Israeli Government will try to look after the concerns of its citizens.
I'm sure the Goan Government will try to look after the concerns of its citizens. The poor punter is left in the middle of this, wondering what is true, what is not, and how to enjoy life while keeping the same number of limbs. ![]()

Don't know what the big deal. India has already had its share of terrorist attacks. (Take a look at this map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:T...001atlas .jpg.) Its impossible to prevent all future attacks. $hit happens. Life goes on.
The state govt is obviously going to downplay any threats in order avoid the downturn in tourism (a scene from the movie Jaws comes to mind) Last edited by machadinha : Dec 16th, 2006 at 03:46. Reason: corrected URL |
