Call me a pessimist, but it's a matter of time until the separatists figure out that blowing up a beach resort and killing a few farangs in the process will get them far more headlines than their current tactics of beheading tappers in the deep South. (They've already hit central Bangkok, Had Yai and Had Yai's airport.) There is little "unhappy Muslim influence" in Bali either, the bombers came from Java specifically to target foreigners and unbelievers.
