Paradise lost

Paradise lost

It's about time Indonesians started to rally against the
Jamaah Islamiyah. The government should first ban it and then
seek to infiltrate it, before finally destroying it.

My business has also been affected by the Bali bombings of
Saturday, Oct.1. Already my travel site has recorded a total drop
in bookings to Bali and Lombok. We are recommending Phuket as an
alternative to Bali in the future, but don't want to because the
people of Bali are so beautiful and openhearted. They welcome
strangers and make them feel so at home and comfortable.

However, what can we do? We have a duty of care toward our
customers that we take very seriously. We feel sad about this. It
will cost jobs. It might even cost more lives and it will
certainly destroy the lives of so many beautiful people from a
paradise that we now feel is lost.

Finally, but not least, we offer our deepest condolences to
those who suffered or lost loved ones as a result of Saturday
night's murderous attack by evil agents of Satan.
