I agree with everything that mucho_fiesta has said. It seems that Nepalese lives, or the lives of any people from third-world nations, are more expendable than others. The militants murdered Nepalis based upon the pretense that Nepal was helping the American and Jewish causes. Well, I wonder what India has been doing all along? Have they or have they not been at war with Pakistan, an Islamic nation, for more than half a century? Have they or have they not been killing Kashmiris (innocent Muslims) for as long as anyone can remember? Have they or have they not, time and time again, backed the US "war on terrorism?" The militants may have realized that killing the Indians would have produced mass riots and viceral hatred against the vast Indian Muslim communities.
