I can't help wonder

I know the tragedy is horrific, and the pain real, but I can't help but wonder if anyone has asked whether the terrorist bombings on Mumbai's commuter trains were in any way related or connected to India's testing of a nuclear capable ballistic missile. Has anyone asked that aloud?

And, is the Howard government's resolve to change cross-media ownership laws surely the thin end of the wedge that will condemn our already over-concentrated media to blandness, crass cross-promotion and self-serving commercialism? Is this bye-bye to decent journalism and creative, original content?
