Tragedy in Bali

[legend]

Just wanted to offer condolences to fellow Australians and indeed the residents from all other nations who have been affected by the terrorist bombing in Bali.

The dead, the survivors, the trauma and the tragedy of this terror is senseless........Not only has it shocked the Balinese people, it has devastated Australians as well as other nations worldwide. My thoughts are not only with the Australian people, but also with the other nations involved..............

Hate wastes so much time and ruins so many lives. Sending positive energy and thoughts your way.

I agree with the positive thoughts Lil but I must admit, as reports have indicated it may be an Al Quaida related bombing, that I do HATE the people that would inflict this kind of damage.
I'll go a step further and say that I also HATE this coward who is killing people from a half-mile away in Washington D.C.

There isn't enough justice in the world for these people.

For sure to all our Australian friends and all the others that lost their lives in Bali; you have our very deepest sympathy and prayers!

Sure hope some day, some how, people will learn to live in peace with one another and not be driven by so much hate.

Tragedy it is, stronger stands are need against acts of terror.
Then again the UN had their oppurtunity after 9/11 to act as they should. we will see.

waiting to hear the fate of three aquaintances

Bilbo - that must be awful for you. Love and hugs.

Since my trip their several years ago I have had a long standing love affair with the beautiful island of Bali and the even more beautiful people who live there.

My heart bleeds for Australia as she grieves and Bali whose way of life and economy relies so heavily on tourism to allow her people to live the peaceful and spiritual lives they value so much.

Please know that the rest of the world feels your pain.

Oh and CK, there may not be enough justice in this world for some people, but there sure is in the next.

That's exactly right, A.K.

This is something we need to remember... sometimes it's the only way we can keep our sanity.

God I hate to sound like I'm politicizing this(which is NOT my intention...) but for some time now many people around the world, allies of America, and foes alike, have been blaming our "policies" for the events of 9/11. I now question that ideology. As attacks such as these increase in frequency ALL AROUND the world, one has to wonder if they really are in response to America, or western civilization as a whole. I almost wish it WAS a burden America had to bear solely on it's shoulders. I revile the loss of ANY human life, American or other, at the hands of cowardly murders. I pray further attacks, be it on civilians in Bali ,French oiltankers in MiddleEastern ports, or a yet unknown target elsewhere in the world can be averted. Until now the U.S. has been acting in a unilateral fashion, much to the chagrin of most, if not all, nations. I also pray it will not take thousands of lives of other nations citizens to be a wake-up call against the threat posed by a growing violent fundamentalist group. My heart goes out to everyone around the world who has been impacted in countless ways but the events of not only the last year, but the last 30 years. Make no mistake about it, we may not be protecting our "way of life", but we will all be in constant defense of the lives of our loved ones and of ourselves for the rest of our days...*steps down from his soapbox*

Very well stated, Soulminer...

All of mine safe (that I am aware of).

There are a lot of "safe" places we need to re-evaluate.

It's probably safer to walk Kuta Beach at 1am than Brekkie Creek.
