[MFMan]

call it what you will but it no doubt is a tragic incident.

I feel I have to respond to this:

Ffactor: I'm going to cut you some slack and ignore you insults to all Australians.

Let's just stick to the issue. When the US embassies in Africa were bombed in the 1990's hundreds of Africans and comparatively few Americans were actually killed. Still, these attacks were aimed against America with complete contempt against all the other innocent bystanders who were also killed.

When the Sari nightclub was bombed on Saturday this attack was not aimed against Indonesia in general. It was aimed at the international travellers who were visiting that club, again with complete contempt for all innocent bystanders. Many of those international travellers were Australians, so this attack was aimed against Australia as well as all the other nations represented.

As for Australians supporting the US in the war against terror. I am sure the US government and Us military commanders don't think of Australians as a useless race. The SAS contingent serving in Aghanistan recently received honors from the US military (I think it was a Brown Star) for their bravery in combat.

Since WWII Australia has supported the US militarily in every campaign where support was requested.

I apologize for my momentary lapse of reason but I still don't see why this was an attack against Australians and not everyone!!

how many aussies were killed? They are saying 33 brits (which to put it into perspective is more than was ever killed in any single IRA terrorist attrocity)

This has nothing to do with Australians. Nobody gives a fuck about Australia. Most of the people killed were Indonesians. This is an internal thing, there are extremist groups in Indonesia who are very anti-government.
If Australia is indeed supporting the U.S...please don't, we don't need your help, I mean it!!!! For god's sake people the country used to be a prison colony!! A completely useless race of people!

You stupid motherfucker.

The attack in Bali was in no way 'an internal thing' if you bothered to read even the most simple of newsgrabs you would have absorbed this.

Once again, apologizing for my momentary lapse of reason but how is this an attack against Australia and not against EVERYONE if indeed this was an attack against foreigners. What could be achieved by attacking Australia?
