I second it. Wanted to express my sympathy, but not sure the appropriate place. If any Aussies are reading this, I'm thinking of you and all the others who died and were directly affected.

My condolences to all those who lost loved ones over the weekend in Bali. Just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you at this difficult time.<BR><BR><BR>

I would like to add my sympathies. We have some our nationality lost in that dreadful act of terrorism as well. It is so sad.

Patti Oct 14th, 2002 12:50 PM

I want you to know how shocked and saddened we are over this attack on your people. It is horrible to have lost so many loved ones in the name of Al Quada.<BR><BR>Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was in Ireland and did not tune in the news for two weeks. At the airport, I checked the news sites, and this was the first thing I saw. I wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere and never come out.<BR><BR>My deepest empathies for what many Australians must have felt/been feeling.

Angel Oct 15th, 2002 08:19 PM

I would also like to add my sincere condolences to the people of Australia, and to all Nations who lost citizens in Bali. Like another poster said, I am not sure where to best express my sympathies, but I think that several Aussies read this Fodors forum.<BR><BR>My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Offering my sympathies to all who have lost a friend or loved one in Bali.

Kathy Oct 16th, 2002 06:42 PM

To everyone, but especially the Aussies, who suffered a loss in the horror in Bali, deepest sympathy and thoughts.

jane Oct 16th, 2002 07:18 PM

What is this world coming too? Why is there so much hate out there?<BR><BR>But you want to know something, it is NEVER going to stop me from travelling.

abc Oct 27th, 2002 12:49 PM

I ran across the following today:<BR><BR> &quot;In a videotape purportedly showing al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, the British Broadcasting Corp. said Saturday that bin Laden singles out Australia as an enemy of Islam, because Australia helped East Timor gain independence from Indonesia.&quot;<BR><BR>I just wanted to say that I admired Australia's position on East Timor. You took the lead in stopping the terror in East Timor. I imagine it would have been easy to turn a blind eye to the situation, but you didn't.<BR><BR>After the horror of Bali, you might be questioning whether if you should have got involved. Just be reassured that protecting the underprivileged is always the right thing to do. Bravo Australia!!!
