    You are missing the point Hassan.

    Just because the 80% doesn’t support bali bombings, it’s okay for the 20% to do it?
    Look what happen. The small percentage actually did bomb bali and did the 80% stop them? The small percentage hold demonstration for the vermins that did it, does the 80% hold one against them?

    And AAB, I agree with you in some parts………. the west did try to get us to their side but unfortunately, so is the islamists. No one knows who started it. Logically, it has to be the islamists – judging from the number of muslim in this country.

    “Nation building” sounds like a dream to me…… *sigh*

    A country where law prevailed, spending are transparent, free school and health care from our taxes, separation of religion from the state, etc, etc

    Man I wanna play that “why can’t we be friends” song now.

    Play the song to those whose surviving members of Javanese whose family members were killed by the Dutch and the British. Remember what the Bules did in the nusantara. British helped Dutch and vice versa. Did your ancestors think they are Asian? Shame on you.

    Ha2. That bitter huh?

    Shouldn’t it be said to yourself?
    If you wanna live in the past then you have no business talking about the future. Moving on is not the easiest thing to do but usually being able to forgive is a sign of maturity.

    Did an adult always said, ‘remember when i accomplish this and that’ all the time without actually accomplishing anything right now? He will be a laughing stock of all of his colleagues. He did accomplish that a long time ago but is he accomplishing anything now?

    The past is history. It has little bearings on what we have in the future. It serves as a reminder of how weak WE are, NOT how evil THEY were. It’s our present that decides our future.

    You love the past that much? Then live in it, cry about it, think about it, blame it, revolves your life around it, heck, dream about it. But you don’t seem to learn from it.

    People like you, in discussion and the planning of the future, is useless. All you can come up is, “remember when they did that? Remember when they did this?” Instead of makin sure that we will be stronger that it won’t happen again, you choose to make sure that we remember whose fault that was.

    Go on. Keep blaming them. Tell me more about how evil they are. How greedy they are. Don’t ever look at us, coz if you do, then you might realize that we are responsible for it as well. And blaming is so much ever easier than caring right? Pointing your finger is so much ever easier than changing yourself right?

    “if we are weak then it’s their fault!” Really, it sounds logical to me.

    Funniest thing? One of my friend told me that indonesia has a “slave mentality” instead of a “master mentality”. Kinda get it now.
