My thoughts are similar to yours. I find it hard to imagine any significant involvement by anybody in this quagmire. That's why I think it will resolve itself in a militaristic state. "Power to the powerful," if you will. And, in response to other comments, if there is outside involvement, I would be less concerned with an 'exit strategy' than with a clear statement of purpose, so that we'll know when the job has been completed. In any event, the sabers are rattling. jim

Steven, the answers to your questions are most likely "probably not now," "probably not now," "probably not much," "probably not," and "probably not." Once the UN people evacuate along with the reporters and their cameras, the East Timor problem will once again fade into obscurity (with the occasional flare-up). It seems to me that the Indonesians have learned one of the great lessons of the Balkan conflicts: get rid of the foreign reporters and their cameras before too much gets filmed. I could be wrong. Take care, Randy
