U.S. democracy in action:

<<< During the 2000 election, Gore foreign policy adviser Richard Holbrooke maintained an agreement with Bush adviser Paul Wolfowitz–the intellectual author of the Bush Doctrine–to keep discussion of U.S. policy toward Indonesia and East Timor out of the presidential fray. As Holbrooke put it, "Paul and I have been in frequent touch to make sure we keep East Timor out of the presidential campaign, where it would do no good for American or Indonesian interests." >>>

Footnote:

<<< Holbrooke was the Carter administration’s ambassador to Indonesia, a post that went to Wolfowitz when the Reagan administration took over in 1981. Essentially, Holbrooke and Wolfowitz acted as a tag-team in running U.S. policy toward East Timor and the Suharto dictatorship in Indonesia throughout the 1970s and 1980s. See Tim Shorrock, "Paul Wolfowitz, Reagan’s man in Indonesia, is back at the Pentagon," Foreign Policy in Focus, February, 2001. >>>
