A couple of points.-=
1. Warning was put up after Howard govt. was accused of deliberately withholding facts from travelers when they "must" have known what was going to happen ( didn't believe a word of it)Adelaide magistrate took govt. to court but lost. Howard had to cover his arse and Labour have continued with that. Don't blame them.
2. Remember a TV interview with one of the bombers who was ranting about American imperialism. When told that only 12 or so (correct me please) of the dead were American he looked totally shocked. Didn't realise that majority were Oz, Brit, German, Dutch Hindu etc.
I tend to think I have more chance of being blown up in KL, Mumbai, Dhaka, Colomno...all of which i"ve visited on busines or holiday recently.Feel quite safe in Bali.
