Yes, the Suharto government brutalized most of indonesia. Yet our government didn't have any problem with him. I guess we pick and choose which dictators to compare to hitler on any given day.



I love it how someone always finds a way to lay some blame on the US.



Third-worlders, Eurotrash, and Left-wingers in general are very predictable in this regard. It works as follows:

Case 1: The United States intervenes. They proceed to scream about how it is really an act of imperialism to steal resources, establish a military presence or base, or generally push around a bunch of brown-skinned people.

Case 2: The United States doesn't intervene. Then they scream about how the government doesn't care because the people aren't White (ie. Rwanda or Sudan) or because they lack resources that evil "Amerikkka" can't steal.

For these reasons, I am completely apathetic to the suffering of non-Americans. Helping is lose-lose.



Honesty. America aint a player in third world power shifting anymore. China and Russia are, at least they would be honest about invading countries. Not hock some bullshit they are out to topple dictators and saving the world. If China runs thin on oil, and they will, and US does something utterly stupid in Iran...jeez...we are fucked. But Iran are playing it out, and they have the upper hand

The world is changing. It will be interesting to see how the cards are drawn.
