717

July 17 will be another sad day for us, the people of Jakarta. This morning right before 8 am, two suicide bombers hit two five stars hotels simultaneously killing more than ten people. I feel the pain of the city, the heartbeat of the nation. The attacks were directly aimed at the international exhibition football match that would be going on in three days between Manchester United from UK and the national team. Each of the two hotels hit will be used by the MU team and the national team. In fact, the bombs almost got the national team if they didn't leave for the 6 am practice. The terrorists are surely gaining lots of ground this time. The match is cancelled. Millions of dollars burned. Our self-pride evaporated. The news spread like the wind. Visitors and travelers flooded the airport trying to leave the city. And the darkest reality is that lifes terminated. Lifes of ordinary honest people who were killed while eating or serving breakfast. It is really a pain, a bereavement. Today, they won and we all lost. So my question is: How do we deal with people who are willing to explode their own heads just to get ours. How do we fight an evil like that?
