    World World Events PDA View Full Version : Bush Sets Moral Tone For The World Post Reply Create New Thread goofyfish 05-23-03, 08:38 PM Without attracting much attention in the American press, Indonesia is staging a re-run of its brutal crushing of East Timor. This time the tiny victim is Aceh Province. World opinion finally forced Indonesia to give East Timor its freedom. What makes the Indonesian government think things will be any different this time?
    Turns out the Bush doctrine does… Today’s story in the Times shows how George W. Bush has become an international enabler. The government’s military action began after last-ditch talks in Tokyo, led by the United States, Japan and the World Bank, broke down last weekend. Indonesia presented nonnegotiable demands to the rebels at the talks, including a demand that they rescind their program of independence, diplomats involved in the talks said...
    ...Indonesian officials made little secret of their belief that in the aftermath of the war in Iraq, the United States, as well as other countries, would be less critical than in the past of the decision to resort to military force.
    "Iraq may cause some pause in criticism against us among governments who readily used force" there, Mr. Natalegawa said.
