Condemn the bombing!

Condemn the bombing!

From Jurnal Indonesia

The recent horrifying, terrifying bomb blast in front of the residence of the Philippine ambassador to Indonesia in Jakarta -- in which two were killed and dozens seriously injured as well as surrounding buildings damaged -- is extremely harmful not only to the victims concerned but also to the nation as it has damaged Indonesia's image in the international forum.

It certainly has had a negative impact on Indonesia's economy in general, and tourism in particular. By now, foreign tourists may have canceled their visits to this country for security reasons. They would be afraid of a reoccurrence of that bloody bombing in other areas of Indonesia including seaside/mountain resorts. Economically, the bombing has undoubtedly considerably increased the growing concern for the safety and security of projects involving foreign investment, which might also result in cancellation of planned foreign investments.

I don't care who could have been behind the bombing. I strongly condemn it and am asking all peace-loving communities to condemn it, too, because bombing is extremely inhumane as it damages everything and brings about increased hostility as well as hatred.
