India's 9-11? (Nadelhoffer)

Ruchira Paul has two very interesting and insightful posts over at Accidental Blogger on the recent bombings in India (see here and here).  There are also articles here and here that should be of interest.  Now that it looks like Al Qaeda might have been involved (see here), I am sure the world will show more interest in the tragedy than it did at first.  Indeed, I think it is worth asking why the bombings in India received so much less attention in the mainstream media than the bombing in Madrid.  It would surely be naive to think that skin color was not a factor.
