I stand corrected, as I did not know of Australia's forces in the Persian Gulf. Australia, New Zealand, Finland and any other country that may think they are now immune from terrorism because of location or involvement have to pull their head out of the sand. People thought Bali was a safe haven but we all stand corrected.

Hong Kong is a fine example. They think they are in a low risk area because of involvement. I hope the Al Queda does not see this as an opportunity. Hong Kong has to pull their head out of the sand also.

The Al Queda was foiled out of Manila in '95. They planned to hijack a United Aircraft out of Hong Kong. What they were going to do with it I don't know, but the first two guesses don't count. You would think Hong Kong would learn from the lessons of others.

Learn from the lessons of others, you will not live long enough to make them all yourself.
