Seems like every blogger

has something to say about

the terrorists attacks

in Bali.

So I'll state my

alternative view.

Big deal,

Bali 2002

JW Marriot Jakarta 2003

Australian Embassy Jakarta 2004

Bali 2005.

Its an annual thing

for the Jemaah Islamiyah

like Christmas Day

or Chinese New Year.

More interestingly,

I noted

the decreasing

casualty rate,

from 202 dead in 2002

to 22 dead in 2005.

Come on guys,

it takes 3 of you

to blow yourselves up

and kill only 22?

My pussycat can fight

better than you.

My guess is

the Jemaah Islamiyah

is weakening

as a terrorist force.

Since Hanbali and

Abu Bakr Baasyir

were arrested,

there have been

more of a nuisance

than a terror.

I only feel sorry

for the Balinese people.

Their livelihoods

will be wrecked

once again,

just when they

started recovering.
