so one of the worst killers in the 20th century has finally headed off to burn, hopefully for eternity.
What is truly amazing is the dirty collusion of the media in painting this nutjob Genocidal kleptocrat as "flawed" or "an necessary evil of the Cold war".
fact is our hands our covered in blood
and our Complicity in the million slaughtered and the others left to rot on a "dollar a day" is our shame.
don't start me on the plight of the orang-u-tans.
our companies of the great and good West made billions out of the slaughter and impoverishment of millions in probably the worst carve up of resources ever. Although Bush is doing his challenge in Iraq as we speak.
I was listening to some chump say "yeah, well, but we stopped the Chinese getting in" ...like they would have done worse obviously so we are OK? Good Lord, its a strange world

anyway I urge you all to do a bit of reading of the Indonesia story from say 1945. There is also a piece from the John Pilger documentary "New Empires of the World", thats worth a look.

so, if they all trot out the same lie does that make it true? It is amazing just how narrow the scope of Suharto's crimes and legacy has been...it's almost uniform in what it will say or more pointedly wont.
