 Controversies Live On After Suharto’s Death in IndonesiaPosted on Jan 28, 2008

^ not for me they don’t and I seriously doubt Amy Goodman looks at it that way. She and her fellow reporter were nearly beaten to death by Indonesian soldiers and they were the lucky ones. Thanks once again to President Carter, Clinton, and many others in the U.S. government; we exceed ourselves in war crimes as usual. If there is a god, then certainly there is a devil; and the devil is the one watching over us. Many of the wests leaders both past and present had better pray there is no reckoning.
