No wonder. If they were parts of Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva and Marinus's group, they would have been executed a long time ago.

The thought of delaying the imminent execution of the convicted Bali bombings only reinforces my beliefs that there are divisions within the government.

Therefore, for the government to be effective and consistent, it needs a strong and committed president who not only has to be elected by a majority but needs a large political base, which is lacking for the present one.

On the postponement of the execution of the Bali bombers, I think we should be doing them a favor by executing them. After all they did what they did because they longed to ascend to the seventh heaven.

I am against the death penalty for reasons of morality. But we are in Indonesia and Christians would have been executed already.

Even the slightest idea of postponing the execution of the three prisoners sentenced to death over the 2002 Bali bombing is like slowly killing the families and relatives of the innocent victims. Let us place ourselves in their shoes, and not in the sandals of the three heartless creatures. How can the victims' families ever forgive us if we keep on postponing the execution? Let us be fair.

I have never and will never trust the Indonesian government in dealing with their decisions. They can make right to wrong and wrong to right. Only God knows. I am so upset about the families of the victims of the Bali bombings.

Just do it. Don't drag out every last moment of drama like some TV soap opera. Just execute them quietly like any other convicted criminal and be finished with it.

Jim Rohn (an American Businessman) says: "It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions."

I think, whatever the reason, and whatever/whoever is responsible, the heart of the problem is what Rohn put in words: indecision.
