Beware of invisible enemies

Beware of invisible enemies

Not many of us, perhaps, realize that those terrorists guilty
of bombing innocent people on Bali and elsewhere, are in fact
invisible enemies of the state and society. Even after repeated
warnings from intelligence sources, including from President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono himself, of the possibility of such
cowardly attacks, they could not be prevented.

The police and intelligence services have been looking for
more than three years for the masterminds of the killing, but
only a few (not the top culprits) have been arrested. The reason
is simply because the enemies are "invisible". They can, as
proven repeatedly, strike anywhere, at any time and in any form
they wish.

Therefore, to combat invisible enemies, those responsible for
their arrests must also make themselves invisible, by disguise
and by increasing the number of invisible agents who must be
super-intelligent, super-active, well paid and extremely
watchful.

As invisible as their presence is, their motives are as
obscure as the night. Many can only guess as to which
organization they belong. It is more serious if the bombings are
directed to cause harm to the state. Which group are they aiming
at? The question of which interests they want to destroy has
remained unanswered until now.

If their motives are religious then this holy month of
Ramadhan is the right time for all religious leaders to campaign
for an end to such attacks, especially in Islamic boarding
schools through out the country.

The Army may join in the hunt but it seems that another army
of informers is needed.
