Back to Bali
Jemaah Islamiyah is not done with Australia, and have attempted an attack on the Australian embassy in Jakarta. While I remain steadfast in my expectation that a terrorist attack on Australian soil remains only a possibility, rather than a probability, as some politicians would have us believe, the attack points up to me the dangers of the region and the dangers in Australia's relationships with southeast Asia. I cannot understand, however, the nature of these criminals, that they would callously harm innocent civilians. I can only hope that those responsible are caught and put away where they can do no further harm. And this time, perhaps the retrospective errors of the Bali court can be avoided.
