Bali and U S Terrorism ?
Question:
:Now wait just a minute. You allow the "strong language" of the
riginal post to go by without a word and rebuke me? Shows where you :are coming from… : <snip I saw the word "horseshit" in your response, with no swearing in the original post.
The correct spelling is ‘hosshit’, at least here in New England… Anyways, I always wondered what objection people had to the word ’shit.’ Whether one uses the word ’shit’, or ‘poo-poo’, or ‘ca-ca’, or ‘feces’, or ’scat’, it means the same stinky thing. Just an observation. Peace, Q

<snip I saw the word "horseshit" in your response, with no swearing in the original post. You obviously didn’t read my response from the rest of your response. I do not agree with the original post, and only pointed out the one small bit of truth that I saw within it. As for where I am coming from, It was0 deg F this a.m. (-18C), snow on the ground for about 4 weeks. We call it "The Great White North"

Now wait just a minute. You allow the "strong language" of the original post to go by without a word and rebuke me? Shows where you are coming from… My understanding is that the Bali bombing killed Indonesians who are mostly Hindus and Australians.
I consider Australia part of the west. The bomb was clearly an Islamist attack on the west and its influence on Indonesia by targeting innocent civilians who had the audacity to be enjoying themselves (a vile "sin" according to Islamist fundamentalist fanatics). Yes there were a few other nationalities. Indonesia has a poor human rights record and a poor record of challenging/arresting/stopping local terrorists. As is fairly typical, most governments around the world have ignored what other governments do within their own borders and happily trade and invest without regard to the "internal dealings", viz, East Timor’s history. This is the only kernel of truth in the original post. -J.Arnold

Easy with the strong language. My understanding is that the Bali bombing killed Indonesians who are mostly Hindus and Australians. Yes there were a few other nationalities.
