Ridecamp: [RC] Tragic bombing in Bali, Australia

Seeing your message on RC saddened me.  The U.S. news coverage both within the country and abroad is quite skewed I'm afraid.  Having traveled extensively I find it interesting to read the news reports in other countries and learn what is *really* happening.  Having spent several weeks in Australia on two different trips, as well as a few weeks in Indonesia, including Bali and Kuta Beach, I feel particularly saddened by this attack and extend my personal sympathy to all involved.

    Australia is still in shock.  This has been called by British officials as , "Australians Sept 11". Yet American press hardly acknowledges it. See for your self:
