If tomorrow comes

Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum, suggests a solution to combat terrorism by turning all terrorists into life insurance agents. For all we know, he was possibly promoting the bank he endorses and whose current campaign has the line he uses in the movie 'jeete raho'.
However, it does draw attention to the fact that no matter how far removed a movie's plot is from terrorism or world peace, we can't help but mention it.
Does this mean that we have accepted to co-exist with whatever is happening in the world around us?
I think that is the case.
How else do we explain the total chaos around? Blasts in Glasgow. Lal Masjid terror strikes. Blasts in Pakistan. 60 killed. 30 killed. 40 killed. So many injured.
Oh God! What have we come to? What have we done to good old humanity? What kind of a world are we going to leave to the future generation... if at all we let it be.
Is this the beginning of the end? I think not... I think it's quite close to the end.
As the numerous channels flow more news of acts of terrorism, I, like many others in the world, have one question on my mind... where will the blast happen tomorrow? If tomorrow comes.
