Vojislav Seselj is not a subtle man. During the Bosnian war, the veteran Serbian politician threatened to level the Croatian capital, Zagreb, with a nuclear bomb. Paramilitary units under his leadership did not carve out enemies' eyes with pocket knives, he once told a reporter, they used rusty spoons.

Even after Bali, Jakarta is only going after JI members directly connected to the Kuta bomb blast, not JI as an organization and not its political wing?the Mujahidin Council led by Abubakar Ba'asyir?or its militia?Laskar Jundullah led by Agus Dwikarna. As a result, JI will be able to strike again inside Indonesia and continue to use Indonesia as a launching...
