Bali Bombing No. 1 and now, Bali Bombing No. 2.
I watched the footage on the news before going to sleep last night...
It made me feel sick.
Backpackers sitting innocently in a pub in Kuta, having a laugh while drinking cheap Balinese beer....
(That pub that looks scarily familiar... I think I walked past it many times when I visited Bali...)
Tourists and their families eating at Jimbaran beach, enjoying the beautiful sunset and the sounds of the waves crashing on the sands......
A sunset at Jimbaran beach
... and then suddenly, they become the sacrificial lambs to someone else's cause.
*sigh*
Why must this be the way of the world?

At least it would be a less destructive method - that's good, right?
