JAKARTA, Indonesia - While U.S. troops press the hunt for Osama bin Laden and his Al-Qaida lieutenants in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a new threat to the United States and its allies is spreading across Southeast Asia.

The U.S. embassies in Indonesia and Malaysia closed indefinitely this week after a suspected terrorist began telling intelligence officials that a regional Islamist terrorist group planned to mark the anniversary of Sept. 11 by attacking the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta and other Western targets in the region.

I have never been to your DU website.

I am not a Demo.

Condi is the incompetent Security advisor who never knew that islamics openly talked about ramming planes into our buildings.

Silly ankor,you should read all of Condis whinings about how she never imagined that the terrorists would do that.

Indonesia has about 240 million - 88% Islamic.

Malaysia has about 23 Million, majority are Islamic and 27% are Chinese.

These two are more populous than Burma (40 M), Thailand (60 M), the Phillipines (82 M) and Vietnam (80 M) combined (263 M vs 260 M).

If Indonesia and Malaysia ever got going that way, towards radical Islam, it would be a big problem for SE Asia. That's my only point, particularly if an unholy alliance beteen radical Islam and the ChiComms ever kicked over. The rest of SE Asia would be sandwiched between them.

The colossal error or misjudgment by these Islamanazis - is that they tipped their hand before they had the means to press the advantage.

American and some of the more enlightened citizens in the non-Islamic world - are more than capable of throwing these crazy bastards back into history another 500 years...

They overreached, too soon --- and fatally exposed themselves as a murderous cult. They have encouraged their own destruction. - and we should accommodate.
