One bombing may be carelessness, but two looks like miserable news for everyone's livelihood on Bali and the neighboring islands. When I was there last year most of Bali was still suffering for tourists -- except for Kuta. And in Kuta the one place that really hopped on a Saturday night was Paddy's, the sort of sports bar on steroids that got bombed in 2002. Australians I talked to said they didn't think lightning would strike twice. Bloody hell.
PS: I owe lots of people answers, but I moved this weekend and lack both time and a good internet connection. (I did set one up, only in the wrong apartment.) (See below.)
