Senseless acts of violence

Senseless acts of violence

I would like to express my profound sympathy for the people
of Indonesia. The recent terrorist attack on the Australian
Embassy, as well as the Bali bombing and the attack on the
Marriott, were certainly carried out by people who do not
represent the peaceful people of Indonesia. They have brought
shame on upon a nation that does not deserve it.

I was privileged to work among the people of Indonesia in the
early eighties and from that experience I know that no true
Indonesian would contemplate or condone such acts of violence.

My sympathy goes out to all of the people of
Indonesia, and particularly those that have suffered from these
senseless acts of violence.
