TR.
Very, very sad and upsetting. These terrorists are causing huge harm to their own people by killing innocents and trying to ruin the image of Indonesia abroad.

Just a few days ago i was telling you TR (and Frans) about how i would love to visit Java and Bali. The risk is still low but you never know when something like this will happen...........

There is an Australian Department of Foreign Affairs advice telling people to alter plans to visit Indonesia and also stressing that Bali is still an attractive target. Terrible, simply terrible.

My prayers go out for the victims and their family's TR, and it is SO wrong for this to happen anywhere, but your country is such a beautiful and peaceful place, it just makes it terrible.

Unfortunately the reality is that this is now the world we live in.

This age is one where you can be killed indiscrimately throughout the world due to some supposed greater cause.

We live in a world of grey...it is hard to define the black and white, good or bad, cowboys and indians etc

What many see as acts of terrorism or barbaric doings there will always be those on the other side who see themselves fighting with romantic, patriotic or spiritual notions of justice or freedom.

Yet again innocents get caught in the middle and they are the ones (along with their families) who pay. It's tragic but it is even more tragic that this is now the norm for many of us and we have to be aware and ensure the safety of our families etc against things which our not our fight.
