Bali Bombing 2

Yesterday, 11 days before the island was due to commemorate the third anniversary of the first attack of Bali Bombing on 12 October 2002, another incident has happened. Three separate organised bombing of different locations in Bali occurred. And this time they've got an amateur video of the seconds of the bombing.

I do respect for ideologies, but still I do not understand this action of terrorism. Suicide bombing? Killing yourself is a sin and now other people's life is also in the risk. This action has not only hurt the physical body of human, but also the country (Indonesia); for less tourist would visit the island, it is obviously not a good thing for the country.

Just for additional note, Bali police squad is claimed to be the best police squad of the nation; and still this incident occurs. :-(

Still in the ideology, why can't some people just accept the difference between all of us? I've played around with many different people from different nationality, religion, and even custom and tradition and as long as the 'respect' is still there, it won't go so bad. And if people respect others, less conflict would occur. I still think of some parameters like those who suffers in the pressure of economy and other life matter, but still many survive the pressure and able to respect others.

^_^ Cheers..

I don't understand this obsession with the term, SUICIDE bomber. It is a means and not the ends. Where it is an end in itself, it can be construed as 'suicide' bombing. In this sense, the 'suicide' bomber is not different from a soldier who is cast against a numerically superior enemy and who knows that his life is becoming a means for a so-called 'greater good', whether it is in defence of the nation-state or the state of the nation.

Just for the record, i do not condone bombings of any sort, but neither do i condone illogicality.
