Some people were rather concerned when I decided to go Bali earlier this year. Especially to stay in a hotel 15 minutes away from the 2002 bomb blast.

But I was thinking, hey, lightning won't REALLY strike twice in the same place, rights?

Well, they would. Could.

I won't linger on the what-ifs. (Though it's a real sobering reality-check to think of some places I've been to and what had happened to some places.)

I'm just totally baffled why if there are people who are smart enough to put together a bomb, shouldn't they be smart enough to figure that killing is not the answer to fighting whatever cause they are fighting??

My sympathies and condolences to all affected by the latest blasts.
