Dammit, I loved Bali ....

At least 12 people have been killed in a series of explosions on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

Many others were reported to have been injured in the blasts at Kuta beach - the area most popular with Western tourists - and at Jimbaran beach.

There is no firm word yet on what caused the blasts which happened just before 2000 local time (1200 GMT).

Nearly three years ago, 202 people died in nightclub bomb attacks in Kuta that were blamed on Islamic extremists.

Indonesian foreign ministry spokesman Marty Natalegawa told the BBC there had been two explosions at Jimbaran and another in Kuta, within about 10 minutes.

He said the Kuta blast "took place in a very crowded area, so obviously if it is confirmed as a bomb, then it is aimed at causing as many casualties and victims as possible, it would appear."

Muslims (hindoes and whatever China is too) need to get their shit together and accept american life like Europe/Japan/S Korea did. Over time we will all be living materialistic lives in peace and prosperity.

It's like spring break type destination for Australians...like Cancun or wherever. Blowing it up is easy and you can scare the shit out of australians....and thus the western world.

Yeah, it's Muslims from other parts of Indonesia trying to sabotage the Western tourist business on mostly-Hindu Bali.
