whom have family in Mumbai."
He said, "The Indian people are strong and will reject the inhuman and cowardly
acts of terror and intimidation that occurred in Mumbai," and added: "Like India,
our diversity has brought the world within our borders. We share a vibrant,
multiethnic community and a strong belief in democracy."
"Together, we are united in our responsibility and stand in solidarity with all
those who foster peace and democracy," he said.
Strickland spoke of how he has "always admired the resilience of the Indian
people and know that they will not be deterred by these inhuman acts of terror."

particularly the residents of Mumbai, as you confront the menace of terrorism
and violence."
