Some terrorists bomb My Country!

[Cute Wolf]

After three years of peace and safety, yesterday, a bomb explodes in JW marriot and Ritz Hotel at Mega Kuningan, Jakarta... the capital of My country Indonesia...

Some terrorists that done it must be really, really mad and had no hearts... as they ruined many people's life and hapiness. Generally, it was a heavy hit on my county's overall safety, and it does cause most of the foreign country to declare "travel warning" to Indonesia. They also made MU cancelled their performance, that should be on this monday... many soccer fans on my country will be sad because that event was prepared rather carefully for a long time... and what's more... the bombing took our still recovering economic prospect down... really down... and it will be one more a hard time... because the bombing was done right after the presidential election... causing a really great chaos and confusion among us...

Some hard-liner organizations must be the mastermind behind this tragedy, as they want to revolt my country's system into their own, and kill our democracy... And what's more, is the coward terrorists does rally their supporters to blame western countries... (afterall, they hate US, Israel, and another Westerns). It was a shame on my country, shame on the people... shame on me... because they target rather several high-end businessmen who attend a meeting in that hotel, to create a chaos and turnmoil... and destroy our morale... (u can read more on internet news...)

Thanks Jesus... for he still safe my country, the situations is soon under control... and there was no immediate turnmoils... but the damage is done... and Indonesia will take another long time to recover from this wound... I hope the orgahs here to support in pray and hope... to bring peace for my country, and hope to caught the terrorists immediately... (from all religions and even atheists, please support us in prays/hope).

Afterall, my overall connection was very slow now, and I can't open pic-heavy threads (such as Babe thread, or EB Demotivators) properly... And at least... I still can drown myself in EB...

Just caught the news. Cowards. The lot of them. You guys over there pull it together and show them what for, tough it out, and they will be brought to justice. Wish you all the best.

For those not acquainted, here's a couple of links.

Its really a pity. A pity that a couple of people would give up on life, on hope, on healing, on forgiveness. I hope Indonesia and Jakarta do not do anything hasty in an effort for revenge, and that any that are pulling the strings on such an attack find themselves denied their capacity for anger and hate.

Great, another excuse for politicians to make idiotic new laws restricting civil rights....

[Fragony]

Can't be prevented, we will just have to get used to it. Look at the bright side most of the bombs didn't explode and only a few deaths, major fail.

I am sure that 99,9% of the politicians looking for re-election will tell you that you will be completely safe if you just vote for him, so that "random idiot law #892734" will be passed. There won't be a single terrorist bomb anymore if we just take off our shoes at the airport!!!!111

You told the exact thing that one of our politician does, but he lost in the election... btw, their security plan has a crack and failed... If that wasn't about a tragedy, I'll give you a rofl... but at least, every men had flaws, and the security staff couldn't be blamed as a whole...

A really curiousity about how the Terrorist (suspects) could spent some nights undetected and assemble their bombs here? A really interesting opinion was the bomb parts was smuggled with courriers, hidden under their clothes, a little by a little...

No politician is going to assume we are that stupid. Bombs will go of once in a while, how exciting. They will have to try harder to impress me.

You can strap a whole lot of boom on a belt, shouldn't have been that hard.

Have the elections finished or not?

Some of the candidates were really ball busting hard liners, just the types to gain from the need to clamp down on dissidents, as opposed to the more moderate open candidates.

Cute Wolf-

Militant extremist fanaticism is the enemy of all mankind, and although it may never fully go away, know that the vast majority of people stand on the side of justice, and they stand with you. This kind of barbaric, destructive ignorance serves nothing, and it is a terrible waste of human life. As a citizen of the United States and of the world, I offer you my best wishes, hope, and support. I honor your nation and hope that all those responsible will be found and brought to justice, and that you and your fellow Indonesians will recover from this tragedy.

Well said. And as you said Cute Wolf, everything is under control, no turmoil, no counterattacks. You have won, they have lost. These idiots can't hurt you just scratch you when you aren't looking, might hurt a bit for a very short moment but hardly lethal. We did a lot worse really after a filmmaker was killed by a radical, myself included. Hats of to Indonesia.

[rory_20_uk]

Indonesia, despite it's own terrorist problems, is a generally good example for the other Islamic nations of the world to follow. I hate seeing stuff like this happen.

That has been true recently. I don't imagine that the inhabitants of East Timor are overly nostalgic about the country what with the invasion, oppression and what not... and that ended in 2002...

[CountArach]

Tragic

[Banquo's Ghost]

It's a very sad occurrence, and one's thoughts go out to the bereaved.

The key thing to hold on to is that terrorism only achieves its twisted aims if it diverts the citizenry from their daily lives. That includes those lives being constrained by populist politicians spouting about revenge and "security".

I don't pray, I will wish you all the best.

Pity, this. Indonesia seemed to have had the better of terrorism in recent years, moving steadily towards more peace and progress in general. A shame.

I think Azerbaijan is a good start. They have their flaws but stand out when it comes to freedom of religion.

CuteWolf: Your comments strike me as egoïstical. You are constantly using the word "my". This might not be your intent but dehumanizing your enemies will only make it worse in the future.

[ICantSpellDawg]

Bummer Dude. I remember being over by those hotels when I was younger. Hopefully this will help straigten people out and recognize that terrorism isn't a friend to Islam or Islamic economies. JI sucks (not Jakarta, Indonesia - Jemmiah Islamia)

[Samurai Waki]

Terrorists aren't human. They're just fuel for my Death Robots.

I hope this is just a bump in the road for Indonesia, and won't become the norm.

[rotorgun]

May the Force be with you.

We are all diminished by these senseless acts of violence. That is what the terrorists are after-to make us all so fearful that we will put undue restrictions on our societies. They somehow blame all the problems they perceive on modernization. They are like unruly children that have been allowed to get away with misbehaving for so long, that they cannot be ruled. The best thing that we could all do is to completely shun them. By doing so they will be made to realize that their pitiful violent acts aren't accomplishing anything.

I think the media only fuels the fires of their need to be recognized. They are really a bunch of losers who hold the world hostage because we let them. Let the blood of the innocents be on their heads. The will face God one day, and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.

God bless the families of those injured and killed.

Absolutely agree.

Then do not expect mercy if the roles change

I don't

Ah, then I understand.

You should also factor in that Cute Wolf is not, in all likelihood, a native English-speaker (not casting aspersions, get me past English and a partial knowledge of the romance languages and I'm toast. Cute Wolf did a good job). You may be reacting to a nuance that he is not intending to create.

[Crazed Rabbit]

My condolences Cute Wolf. I pray justice may be brought to those who carried out these cowardly attacks.

I'm sure Indonesia will recover.

Take care,
CR

[Zim]

Sorry to hear that CuteWolf. I hope the guys that were behind that are caught quickly.

Maybe it's that I work in law enforcement but attacks against civilians especially anger me. I know I'm fair game when I put my uniform on but they have done nothing wrong...

I can still remember the Don hammering me over at least half a page because I was lost on such a nuance....

Bah, we should turn viking again and enslave the lot of you.
