This time it was families eating at restaurants rather than young people dancing at nightclubs, but the intention and outcome of the weekend’s terrorist attacks at Bali was the same as it was almost three years ago. The terrorists – who left 202 dead after the October 12, 2002, attacks, and so far have left 19 dead and more than 100 injured after Saturday’s attacks – sought to slay innocent individuals, destroy the idyllic peace of Bali, and shift Indonesia away from democracy and toward Islamic theocracy. The latest bombing only underlines the fact that there can be no appeasement of the radical Islamists.
