Two-way traffic?

The newspaper reports on recommendations from the U.S. state
department that U.S. diplomats and their families in Indonesia
should voluntarily return home as well as the travel notice
saying that U.S. citizens should postpone their trips to
Indonesia indicate an arrogance on the part of the U.S.
government.

As an Indonesian citizen I feel deeply offended by such
recommendations and would like to express the following opinions:

1. U.S. citizens are not safe wherever they are due to the
arrogant attitude of the U.S. government. Therefore, it would be
better for U.S. citizens to remind and criticize their government
so that it gets rid of such pomposity, which is the precise cause
of this predicament for its citizens.

2. Regarding the current situation, my fellow citizens are
suggested to stay away from locations connected with U.S.
interests, as these areas might pose a grave risk.

3. Indonesians in the U.S. are well-advised to immediately
return, because to remain in the U.S. means an all-time readiness
to face danger.

4. The Indonesian government had better evacuate Indonesian
diplomats, their families and Indonesian citizens in the U.S. in
consideration of the possible occurence of danger at any time, as
letting them remain in the U.S. is tantamount to allowing them to
be haunted by fear. In addition, the government should forbid
Indonesian citizens from traveling to the U.S.
