They’ve been pouring onto the streets of Mumbai by the tens of thousands, hundreds of average citizens coming out of their homes and shops to cheer on Mumbai’s courageous commandos.
“They’re leaping for joy!” said a television reporter from their midst.
It’s day three of the Mumbai attacks and the most recent updating at the time of this writing is that the bodies of five Israeli hostages seized by Islamic militants have been recovered from a Jewish centre in the city.
This sad news came from Eli Belotsercovsky, deputy chief of mission at the Israeli embassy in New Delhi.
There are no Jane Fondas and Cindy Sheehans in Mumbai, just average citizens leaping for joy as they watch their commandos take back control.
