Your comments on a suicide bomber who attacked a police post in Poso, Central Sulawesi, which terrorism experts said was in retaliation for the police raids on dozens of suspected terrorists in May:

This is further proof that this country is a haven for terrorists because there are groups and
organizations that support them.

Ning M. Widjaja

Terrorists, please stop your insanity. Don't you think a peaceful Indonesia would be better?

GN Kade Hariawan

A suicide bomber does not care for his soul or his victims. When they retaliated by attacking a police post in
Poso, Central Sulawesi, it had much to do with education, employment, religion, government and leadership concerns.

Our corrupt system of government will not and cannot stop our downward societal spiral. In fact, a new network is suspected in the Poso attack.

While the police are busy fighting to curb terrorist attacks, our government must concern itself with delivering better education and living.

The longer corruption is tolerated, the more the public will be attracted to it or the more reasons they will have to rebel.

Foreign elements can easily influence our people to rebel through our own negligence and because we are stupidly allowing our national values in Pancasila and Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) to be trampled upon.

 Until our educational system is changed for the better, there will be no guarantee that we will return to these values to ensure the unity of our archipelago.

There are many like the bomber in Indonesia today.

It is not a form of retaliation, but a foolish thing done by people who don't know what else to do in this era of reform.
