Blessing in disguise

Blessing in disguise

The presence in Jakarta of a large number of demonstrators,
especially the 50,000 strong ready-to-die supporters from East
Java, will create a serious logistical and accommodation problem.
And on top of this is the inevitable chaos that will occur if a
third party adds fuel to the already tense situation. A single
shot, a single Molotov cocktail thrown upon a large crowd will be
enough to create panic and chaos, fear and anxiety. If that
happens there will be a disaster.

Be that as it may, the presence of the ready-to-die
supporters, and their illegal training grounds in Banyuwangi, is
a blessing in disguise, and might be able to become a source of
foreign currency and a solution to many problems the country is
facing.

The claim that by undergoing training in Banyuwangi a person
can become invincible, so that no bullet, no dagger or samurai
sword or knife, no grenade explosion, as shown on television, can
do any harm. This phenomenon should be communicated to the
outside world.

I am sure in a short time many people from foreign countries,
especially from the military, from intelligence agencies like
CIA, FBI, Scotland Yard etc. will flock to Banyuwangi eager to
undergo their training. Also, the claim by certain ready-to-die
leaders that they can climb tall building like lizards and are
able to make themselves invisible will surely attract the
attention of people worldwide. So at the same time Banyuwangi
will become a tourist attraction and hence earn foreign currency
for the benefit of the country.
