#1 I thought Bali was predominantly Hindu. Are they that hard up for cash after the bombings?

#2 Bali is mostly Hindu, but the Republic of Indonesia is hosting the D-8, and chose Bali as the location for the conference. Probably to promote the idea that everything is A-OK for tourism, again.

FWIW, this link is my take on Indonesian cultural and political climate. A good map of Indonesia and some basic info can be found at this link.

#3 "Our leaders should follow him and speak out against (international) tyranny," said Dipo

Trust a Dipo to ignore the incredible tyranny in Iran and focus on the good old USA.

... the Republic of Indonesia is hosting the D-8, and chose Bali as the location for the conference.

Anyone else want to bet that there's a buncha Balinese who would be more than happy to endure another bombing if it managed to take out the entire D-8 heads of state?

#4 A hearty AMEN to that! However, given that the islamofascist movement in Indonesia gained great impetus with "missionaries" from Iran, and Iran's president is attending the D-8, another bombing isn't likely right now, IMO.

#5 I'm enjoying this moment of concord, cingold. I dread to think how incredibly insulted the peaceful Balinese people must feel, knowing that the ultimate tier of thugocrats are infesting their island under the pretense of some economic summit. Amongst these wastes of skin are certainly more than a few who cheered at the Bali atrocity. How wretched to have these damnable maggots clustered on their turf.
