I was just wake up this morning when I saw this terrible news on TV, two bombs had just exploded inside two luxurious hotels in my hometown Jakarta, JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton Hotel. The first bomb exploded in JW Marriott Hotel at 7.40 am and within 5 minutes the second bomb exploded in Ritz Carlton Hotel. These two bombs killed at least 9 people and injured about 52 people. The authority are still looking for evidence and clues in order to reveal the person / organization that responsible for this bombing, but one thing for sure that this is a terrorism act.

For JW Marriott Hotel this is the second bombing they experience, the first bombing happened in 2003. It was a suicide bombing using a car which killed 12 people and injured 150 people.

What's so hard to understand is those terrorists, they are always talking about fighting against USA, United Kingdom, Australia and global liberalization / capitalism and they try to convince people that all of their actions are meant for those reasons. But what I see all this time is they only slaughter innocent people and most of the victims are Indonesian citizens. If they really intend to fight against USA why should they bomb a hotel with many civilians in it ? why won't they attack their military base or any of the American government buildings in America ? not that I say that's the right thing to do but at least it clears up their purposes, or if they really have the guts just go to Iraq or Afghanistan or maybe to some flared up central American Nations to fight the US soldier face to face. It becomes so blur whether they're fighting against those capitalistic governments or they are just enjoying killing innocent people.

But the saddest thing for me in this matter is, Manchester United FC which already has a schedule to play in Jakarta against our national soccer team in July 20 canceled their tour to Indonesia because of this bombing and decided to go back to England after playing in Malaysia, this is indeed a tragedy.
