  • Bombs in Indonesian tourist resort kill 21

    We have this, the Finnish mall bombing, the Maryland Sniper... We also had the French tanker blast on Oct. 7 and a bomb attack in Philippines on Oct. 10. That, incidentally was the same day as a blast in Checnya killed 20 and 3 marines were killed in a Kuwait blast. I'm starting to get a mite suspicious about all this. It's happening exactly one year, one month and one day from 9/11, you know... I'm not saying anything, I'm just throwing wild speculation in the air.

        And don't forget about the Kuwaiti shooting, as well as the two Al-Qaeda tapes

            Stefu might be onto something. I'm not saying all of these attacks are connected, but some of them most likely are.

                Wasn't there a car accident that took 12 lives in the US as well? Of course, if this was a post by Stefu, the word accident would be in quotation marks.

                  I would feel like a turd if I didn't make a similar gesture of sympathy for Indonesia, but it would cheapen it.

                  I'll go with finland because I already made it, and because I know so many finnish posters.

                      Is there a full moon out? There couldn't be any other explanation. Conspiracy theories are for marginally sane.

                        The Bali blasts/fires are turning out to be horrid. 54 dead at last count. Expected to be higher.

                        I don't know how these terrorists figure. You might kill a few Americans or other westerners, but then it's not our economy that suffers primarily. Muslims are the ones who suffer. Bali's economy is trashed for at least the next couple of years.

                        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                          The news about the blast in Bali was that many of the victims were "foreigners". Has anyone heard a breakdown of the nationalities of the victims? My guess is that they would be mostly Australian and European.

                            Our news say 50 dead and over 120 injured by far, and that it was a bomb.
                            It's a crazy world we live in. I started wondering about this too, sounds like a far reach, but I have to admit the activity is high. I'm hoping no more bombings, but I have a feeling we're not that lucky, maybe tomorrow something blows up in the philippines or something crazy.

                              DanS, et al.:

                              My impression is that the Muslim extremists do not care if they damage the economy of their nation or kill dozens, hundreds or even more people.

                              Why? Hmm ... maybe because they wish to set up an Islamic state that employs Sharia law. As such, all damage and loss of life is acceptable, even more so since those dying are Western devils, infidels (often one and the same as Westerners), or "faux" Muslims (Sept. 11, 2001, took the lives of Muslims in the Twin Towers ... so far, I haven't seen any regret expressed by al-Qaida and other related fanatical Islamic groups).

                              (P.S. The U.S. Marines in Kuwait were injured in the blast, which I believe was found to be an accident, not an attack.)
