Bali

Wednesday's regular post is below this one.

Apart from my earlier post, I want to avoid politics whenever possible. But I saw today that there was another bombing in Bali. I’d like to point out that Bali is about as far as you can get from the heart of the evil Zionist neo-con empire. What possible strategic objective does hitting Bali and killing a bunch of backpackers and tourists achieve? The people there are not Bush voters. And that’s the point. These fascists will kill anyone they can—Aussies, Canadians, Americans, French. It doesn’t matter to them. It is another painful reminder that we are targeted for who we are, not what we do. I wonder when a lot of people will wake up to that. Like I said, I want to avoid politics because I don’t want to alienate people I care about, but I felt the need to say something about this murderous act.
