What's wrong with this nation?

From Media Indonesia

In the aftermath of the Bali bomb blast, foreign victims were prioritized over local victims in terms of treatment. It is sad to realize that this treatment -- which suggests that foreigners are racially superior -- has been practiced by Indonesians. So, what has gone wrong with this nation?

The bomb tragedy in Bali must make all Indonesians reflect upon themselves and seize this momentum to arouse their fighting spirit.

This newspaper in its Oct. 24 edition featured the alluring twilight in Tanah Lot, Bali. This is a smart way to remind everyone that there are still many other safe and peaceful tourist destinations, not only in Bali but also in other places across the country.

Our mass media should take a similar step to revive local tourism and convince the outside world that Bali is not the only tourist destination in Indonesia.
