Love for the blame game

Terrorism greeted India a day before valentine's day. German Bakery in Pune burns to ashes. Official body count - 9 killed, over 60 injured.

For once, I'll leave the political debate aside and draw attention to a debate that's going on between three educated, civilised professionals, on Google Buzz, who've made full use of their democratic right of freedom of speech and triggered of the blame game. Below are the posts.

amitabh chaterjee - Buzz - Public - Muted
Thank you Sena! Because of your tantrums, the police had to guard the theatres and the terrorists had a field day at Pune!
pan d - the police should get things rities right in life why blame the senaFeb 15
Chitra R - Cant really make up my mind with the SS - they raise important issues (for eg. the MNIK controversy is really a debate about foreign policy) but the real message is lost thanks to the peripheral drama! Also if the SS is really concerned for Mumbai's security, it should engage in democratic debate rather than create potential crises for the city's overburdened police!Feb 15
pan d - The overburden was created by the congress who wants to finish the sena.Why should the sena engage in a debate when the media people only want to hear what they want to hear and then don't give the guys to speak watch the talk shows sir10:33 am

In a nut-shell Amitabh blames the Sena. (how on earth or in planet Zog did deploying cops in theatres made it easy for the terrorists. The question is were any cops specifically asked not to guard the german bakery and guard theatres?)

Pan d shoots back, defends Sena, blames police. (police-the other soft target)

Chitra R blames Sena, defends Amitabh, blames Pan d

Pan d defends Sena, blames congress. (congress!!!! where did they come from)

Were we ever talking about terrorism and the tragedy that struck our nation? Will we ever debate a fight back? Will we ever stop blaming each other?
