Perhaps they're just too ignorant and too stupid to care about how these attacks affect not only peoples lives but the economy and the livelihood of the country. If affects how the community lives, and it affects ultimately, their own families.
The terrorist's sucessful attacks on both Mumbai and Bali showcase not only what these villians are capable of achieving but also what third world countries are lacking - proper Government ruling.
Corruption is a major issue in many developing countries and it is precisely why terrorist activity can be bred at an alarming pace. Without the erradication of corruption on the police force and on government officials and without stricter regulations, it is almost guaranteed that terrorists will strike again. People no longer feel safe in thier own home, let alone in a different country.
What has this world become? And how did it come to this?
These issues are not recent. They have persist for many years, even before Bill Clinton became the US president. Through the years, presidents try and try again to reach an agreement with the inhumane terrorist but to no avail. When George W.Bush took office in 2001, he inherited these unresolved issues, and being the forceful person he is, tried to combat terrorism with brute force. Some argue that this is how the terrorist situation should be dealt with and others disagree. Whatever it is, it is clear that there is much more we have not done.
The new President-elect Barack Obama will also fall heir to these problems, which have undoubtedly snow-balled through the years. Lets just hope that the policy he puts forth towards combating terrorism will finally achieve something.
I don't believe people can live without some sort of fear anymore. Nobody trusts their governments anymore, not with the economic downturn and terrorist bombings. Let's just hope we bounce back and bounce fast.
