Terrorism : 09 august 2004
This morning in Jakarta - Indonesia a bomb exploded and killed people. Its the third time that a bomb explose in Indonesia.
This time most of the victim are Indonesian. The bomb was attribuated to JI.

What should we think about that ? I hate this kind of acts. First because the leader allways hide and send mens to kill other people. I never realy understood this kind of action. Its like in war, the people who declare war are seltdom the one who are on the field trying to do what they say. If all the leaders will act with their own life, instead of playing with life of other, there will probably be less war and more people speaking to each other, trying to find a way to a solution.
Act of terrorism in my mind is a wrong way to defend a idee, but a good way to make "advertising" and manipulating people by fear. The end goal is power !

I told my brother few weeks ago that I was writing from a Internet caffee just few meters away from the discothec s where two bomb explosed few years ago. Hundred of families lost their son, parents, cousins...Australian, German, Sweden and of course the Indonesian who where working on the street...making their daily job to drive some people home. The only rest of that explosion are two empty fields and two textile hanging on a fense with some names that people write with markers. Somedays a photo appear...or flowers...or a new name.... People pass here and remember their friends or family members gone forever, but do me think about what was the message of the terrorist ? No. So its a failure in the act. Dead for nothing.
I told my brother that the danger was in the past...but it wasn t.

But the problem is bigger. Terrorism is violence. And violence is bigger than terrorism, more destructif. It kill peoples culture and peoples freedom. We should realy try to help people that are sick instead of killing people that are health. Maybie its cheaper...and the benefit is emotional not material. Its not about money, its not about politic, its not about oil, its not about territory its about what s the more important in our life...Emotions. Think about Humanity !

Sometime I m to emotional...think to much maybie...but you know I can t tell allways good stories but just story with an happy end. Hopefully this one will have one.
