Bali has just been bombed again!

[ballaratdragons]

More bad news. Bali has just been bombed again. 4 different targets! 12 dead found already.

One bomb was at the Kuta Shopping Square and the hospitals are overloaded with injured!

This is the action of sick people.

[beren]

:confused: The madness continues

[ballaratdragons]

It really worries me as my parents are over in Europe doing one of those 4 week European tour packages through England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, & France. They are nearly half way through it.

I worry about them being over there.

I do hope there is not too many deaths in this new Bali tragedy. Tourists have only just started going back there!

11 dead, 27 injured in 3 bombings.

Very sad indeed. My condolences to the victims and their families.

At least 23 dead according to ninemsn and that number will only get bigger. These sick freaks need to be hunted down.

[xstream]

Mongrels!

[Striker]

Wouldn't you just love to be able to take out all those responsible.

[TidaLpHasE]

More innocent people taken at the hands of these butchers.

And they say all in the name of their god, it's a disgrace.

Thoughts with all the families..

..........nevermind..........

I had planned to go to Bali with my family after christmas but I will now phone my wife and tell her to cancel the tickets. I do have a point of not giving into terrorists as we went to Bali shortly after the previous bombings but this is getting to be a sick habit. Two of the bombs were in areas were we visited on our last trip. I have my family to think off.

I tell you wot I am mighty sick of this world at the moment. The terrorist's are just mongrel murderers and the west's war on terror is a sick joke that just gives these fanatics a cause to kill for.

My heart goes out to the victoms of this tragety and to the Balinese people.

[Starkler]

My condolences also to the victims, and spare a thought for those who this is going to hurt most, the Balinese people who so heavily rely on the tourism industry.
This might be the nail in the coffin.

These braindead deluded idiots again, thinking the world owes them something, I dont like fundamentalists of any kind, their ALL deluded. At least the IRA used to give an early warning generally, so as to not kill people, and they achieved just as much (whatever that was?). decent terrorists? oxymoron? I love the way they hate the west - but love to use and enjoy all the advancements and benefits generated by the so-called west - mobile phones, dialyasis machines, Hollywood action movies, BMW's ect ...hypocrites, they should live in caves eating yams if they hate it so much. I would like to see the smile wiped of these latest grinning bombers - they just seem like Indonesian versions of poor ignorant hicks to me

I think the word fundamentalist is missused, because if these sub-humans were following the fundamentals, they would not take this barbarous action. It is frightfull to see that humanbeings can fall to such a level that they take the lives of others. There is no justification for the murder of innocent people. We need to find the people who brainwash these bombers. We need to find those who preech hate in the disguise of religion. These people may call themselves muslims but they are not, a true muslim puts his faith in the Creator not his own justice.

My sympathies and condolonses to those that have lost loved ones.

[ballaratdragons]

So far one of the deceased is Australian. Very sad indeed. Bali was just picking up.
The beautiful nation could be financially destroyed for what? Making people feel welcome and sharing their countrys' beauty with the rest of the world.

It makes me angry!!!!!!!!!!!

[netwolf]

Agrreed those to suffer in all this will be the Bali people who rely on the tourist trade. These people's livlihoods are being destroyed. By the actions of cowardly fools.

[ving]

crickey... I only hope justice is served. :(

[fringe_dweller]

ok point taken re fundamentalists - i should of said hardline relegious extremist zealots - ie people who think they know whats best for all, are the hand of God, and who wish to physically and forcefully impose their views and beliefs on the rest of the population(s) wether they agree or not. Instead of just practising there beliefs quietly and leading by example.

I think foolish mandmen is a good word to describe them. Foolish because they think the can win, mad because they have no conscience.

And Cowardly... because they go after the unarmed and defenseless, and destroy poor folks livlihoods.

[fringe_dweller]

They are all of those things netwolf - and more.

When I was watching it Live on telly last night my heart just sank. The look on the Balinese peoples faces was different to last time. At the last bombing they had a determined look about them. Last night they looked dejected. And I don't blame them. Their spirit must be almost broken. It's just not fair.

[acropolite]

The indonesian government and legal system has a lot to answer for. Had they not treated the last bombings as a joke this may not have happened.:tasdevil:

[cahullian]

fringe dweller I come from Belfast and all the IRA ever done was big note themselves and murder people and destroy lives, as all terrorists do.
These things didn't happen 100 years ago because the consequences would have been sharp and harsh. We in the west have gotten fat and soft. There is only one language these people understand and it's about time they were given a good lesson in it. It's about time we started making martyrs' of all terrorists and their supporters. We are deluding ourselves if we think they are going to stop or even decrease these atrocities, with the worlds media giving these acts prime time viewing we are turning these murdering pigs into superstars in the eyes of their followers. Zero tolerence is the go with these people and the punishment should fit the crime, say 10 minutes alone with the families of the poeple they kill sounds like fair justice to me.
Sorry about the rant but I have suffered from the backlash of acts like this for over 20 years of my life and know first hand what acts of terrorism do to everyday people and their loved ones.

[mickoking]

I disagree, Indonesian has been hit by terrorism now for many years and it has been unfortunate that the western media ( at least the Australian media) portays the Indonesion justice system as a joke. Remember several of the previous Bali bombers are now facing a firing squad. I can guarentee you the Indonesian people want justice and we must support them to that end.

[slice of heaven]

I agree Gazz
The KGB under Soviet rule knew exactly how to strike fear into people of this type. The fear they instilled was definitely not from idle threats or glitzy media coverage. Their methods worked, and worked 100% effectively. Nasty, but effective.

[fringe_dweller]

I understand Gazz, murderings thugs are murdering thugs where ever they practice their ****** trade.

Those of you that have read the Cruicible will understand what misuse of religion can cause. The puppet masters that brainwash these simpleton fools are the true criminals. They have an agenda and they use the religion falsely to give moral grounding to the frontment who carry out the acts. There agenda has very little to do with religion and more to do with powerbrokering. Under whatever name they assume, they want one thing and that is power and that is all.

No cause can every justify the taking of a defenseless and innocent life.

[mickoking]

Well put netwolf I totally agree.

[Starkler]

Please keep political statements out of the forum.
Thankyou.

[mick pinner]

l was not going to comment on this particular thread but l would like to know if political statements are now not allowed in any form whatsoever.

[cahullian]

What political statements????
Murdering thugs have nothing to do with politics.
