A nasty thought (Bali)

Japanese subway gas attack, consider Timothy McVeigh, consider Osama
bin Laden--a lot of people keep saying that it does, and the night
club bombing will do a lot to impovrish Bali.

small groups, and the top people in an organisation are often well-off,
but for some aims they need cannon fodder, numbers or at least passive
support from much of the population, and it's much easier to recruit
people who are desperate. The deliberate destruction of job
opportunities in the tourism industry is a tactic that is being used by
Moslem extremists in Egypt, and has been for some years. There it's a
primary aim of much of the terrorism aimed at tourists - to drive the
tourists, and their money, away. I had assumed that it was a secondary
consideration in the Bali bombing - it may even be the primary
consideration as far as the local terrorists are concerned.

From the standpoint of the terrorists, I think that's a feature, not a
bug.

Most Balinese aren't moslem; they still follow the island's native
religion.
Any terrorist group based there would most likely be anti-islamic.
That may also be why Osama picked Bali. he would see it as striking
a blow at two sets of infidels.

Is there any evidence that Al Queda had anything to do with the Bali
attack? I seem to have been out of reach of news lately, so I don't know
if the information's just coming from D.C. and is thus highly suspect.

The leader of Jamaah Islamiah said in an interview with the Australian
Broadcasting Company that he thinks American Intelligence was behind
the bombing and that it isn't possible Muslims could have done it.
Boy, what a shocker. I'm glad he opened my eyes.

The Australians think so, too.

Some terrorism has to do with poverty, other forms do not. However,
the people who destroyed the club at Bali would not want their fair
city to earn money in such a sinful manner.

Maybe. And maybe it's something altogether different.
Unless you know something we don't, in which case do get
in touch with Interpol, willya?

Thereby giving a mostly Hindu enclave in a Muslim country, but with a
secular government, a nice step down in income, and perhaps more
incentive to lean in the direction of Islam.
It also gives that secular government an excuse to curtail some
civil rights in order to "fight international terrorism", and of
course maintain that government's hold on power.
And, of course, petroleum is a major export.
