I would encourage everyone to read these. As it turns out, only two days before the Bali blast the State Dep't issued a strong warning about gathering in large crowds in Indonesia. The people of Australia are upset with their gov't for not making a bigger deal of this. <BR><BR>

actually you have to access state department.gov and read the alerts. These days, everyone id Dc is issuing alerts hourly - covering their butts in case something takes place. Lets face it, things are a bit edgy! But lets keep on travelling. Screw the terrorists!
