It's just business. Conflict is extremely profitable. Unfortunately, 164 people is a drop in a bucket in an ocean.

That's not true! People who died in these five star hotels and their conference rooms were top notch entrepreneurs, executives AND ordinary people of India [1]. So 164 people who died is not just a drop in the ocean as you would like to believe here.

Death of innocents is a tragedy whether they were an entrepreneur, an executive, or a janitor.

You're right. But when conflict is extremely profitable for some then the value of those who died and are going to die is already under material consideration within that justification.

On the parent comment 164 people sounded like a lame statistic, involuntarily generalizing everyone as "people who just died there" and this is usual business for others to profit from it.

I know what you're trying to say. Sure everyone innocent who died there was an equal human being and this tragedy should be left at that.

What a horrible thing to think or say. Entrepreneurs and executives be damned; human beings are human beings.

Are we already implying that Stratfor carried out the bombing? Wow.
