OMG OMG
I am from Indonesia, and this is just TOO SICK!
Bali is considered a haven in Indonesia, very peacefull, no conflicts there at all
Also there are lots of tourists in Bali, especially Kuta beach
Eventhough majority of Indonesians elsewhere are Moslems, in Bali most of them are Hindus
I bet this is a terrorist attack linked with al-qaeda
I hope the government does not deny anymore that there are no terrorist activites in Indonesia

Your telling me. Tourism is the only thing holding that island above water. Even when Jakarta was having major trouble, the Bali locals were saying,"We won`t let that happen here, we can`t afford it."
Well, even though there are a lot of Aussies that go there, the number one tourists of Bali are Japanese. But not anymore.
Bali is done.

I hate to agree with you, but you are right
this is a MAJOR BLOW to the tourism industry in Bali
Hope the locals get the bastards before the police, so they can do their own justice on them
also the people in Indonesia are currently talking about the timing of the bali bombing:
it is exactly one year, one month and one day after the 9/11 attacks

Kijanj - a jeep like vehicle.
No, it looked like Kilanj to me. Its like an early style Isuzu Trooper (kinda squared off at the corners).

I don't think they (whoever that is) timed this attack to have any relation with 9/11.
I don't think I'll ever go to south east asia for vacation..ehh maybe Thailand
It was filled with mostly Australians.. also a couple of footy teams who were celebrating end of year season victories etc were in there too..
Most of the badly injured people will die because of the lack of medical facilities in Bali

When will you join the US in it's effort to control terrorism? How many of your countrymen will perish before you come to your senses?
Or will you cower in your own homes waiting for the inevitable? Sooner or later even there you will not be safe.

I was in Bali, in this club, back in May. I went in, ordered a beer, but left a few minutes later. The club, and the neighborhood just struck me as a potentially unsafe place. The area where the bombimg happened was on the main road in Kuta where all of the tourists hang out. There were so many people milling around just gawking at the tourists. Being from NYC, and having grown up being VERY sensitive to my surroundings, I felt like I was viewed as a big bag of money with feet. I just had to get out of there. I felt like if just a few molecules shifted their positions, the place could become totally uncontrollable.
Other than my discomfort with Kuta and the tousisty strip, Bali was an excellent, beautiful and tranquil place. The people in Bali (overwhelmingly Bhudist--not Muslim) are peaceful, calm and religious. Most surprisingly though is that they don;t consider themselves Indonesians--they say they are Balinese. They really feel like Indonesia needs them MUCH more than they need the rest of Indonesia.
Very unfortunately, now they have just been lumped into the pool of extremists and terrorists. This is a major disaster for Bali and a big blow to any hint of stability in Indonesia. Maybe some of the big western hotel chains who have proterties in Bali, rather than just pull out, could help the people restore the calm to such a lovely place with such wonderful people.

I wonder whom the people in Bali oppressed and forced their values onto to have such a thing happen to them. I guess they are just little Satan?s not great Satan?s like the people in the WTC.
