#1 Almost two hundred people were killed in Bali, mostly Balinese and Australians. Number of Americans killed? Two.

If that sounds familiar, remember the embassy bombings in Africa?

Kenya: 12 American diplomats and ca. 200 Kenyan citizens killed. Injured included 10 Americans and something like _4,000_ Kenyans.

Tanzania: 11 Tanzanians killed. Injured were 85 locals and 2 Americans.

These terrorists aren't real shy about taking out everybody in a multi-block area just to get to a few children of the Great Satan.

A lot of people better pray we don't start thinking that way.

#2 Actually, the number of US victims has risen to 6 by some counts and 9 by others. The latest confirmed list of the dead is far from complete, but shows 6 names tied to the USA.
