What Really Happened?
US planned withdrawal of Indonesia staff hours before blastHere, a quote from Weblog Central, a weblog page developed by MSNBC commenting my friend's sites:
"Hours before the powerful blast in Bali island went off, the US had reportedly announced a plan to withdraw its administrative staff from Indonesia for 'security' reasons." Oooooh, how did they KNOW!?!

About Bali: Indonesia has for years been rebuffing the introduction of US troops into the region, claiming they do not have Al Qaeda terrorists to worry about. Indonesian resistance to the presence of US troops goes back to their resentment over being pressured out of East Timor by the US. So, this bombing in Bali looks like an attempt by the US to play Israel's game; set off a bomb, frame it on an enemy, then move in with military force to control a region. Indonesia is, naturally, an oil-rich region. Also, the fact that the bomb near the US embassy didn't hurt anyone is itself rather obvious.---from http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ via Farid
Clearly, Farid was already not a big fan of Bush or the United States, and this attack hasn’t changed his mind. He seems convinced that the Bali bombings were part of a U.S. plot to jusify an invasion of Indonesia in the name of security for the purpose of controlling its natural resources.Yet, this comment might be true, according to his last post (which also been posted above), but, I knew him respectly that he is not a blind man that always become fan or hated without some clear reason. I think, by prefering all of my posts here, one of you might be thought that I was also one of those "Anti-America". So, by this post, i will repeating my previous post about "anti-americanism" term, that's stated:
Anti-Americanism is an emotion substituting for an analysis, a morality, an ideal, even an idea about what to do. When the hatred of foreign policies sputters into a hatred of an entire people and their civilization, then thinking is dead and demonology lives. When complexity of thought devolves into caricature -- and all broad-brush hatred of any nation, whatever its occasions, is caricature -- intellect is on its way to reconciling itself to mass murder.
