Steven, I have to go but I must state again several facts: 1) Bill Clinton took millions of dollars in campaign contributions, and donations into his legal defense fund from members of the Chinese Intellegence Agency, and the PLA. He also took money from the Lippo Group (Chinese Nationals living in Indonesia), and they helped pay off Webster Hubble after he was indicted and had to resign from the Justice Department. Furthermore, spies such as Johnny Chung were given Top Secret security clearance and while in the Department of Commerce he reviewed dozens of Top Secret documents relating to Indonesia and China. Often Johnny Chung would walk down the street to the Chinese Embassy and debrief them after his meetings and document viewings. 2) There are plenty of targets to hit in Indonesia with bombs. Consider that during the Yugoslavian War the military proved very hard to hit. Note that only about 30 of the 300 JNA tanks in Kosovo were destroyed during the air campaign. The civilian infrastruction such as power plants, cigarette factories, car factories, hospitals, chemical plants, banks, and water facilities proved easy to hit and much of the infrastructure of the nation was destroyed. Note that it is also a war crime as described by the Geneva Convention to hit those targets. You should also note that since you are a reporter you are protected by the Geneva Convention but that didn't seem to stop NATO from taking out television stations, radio stations, and newspaper plants, a clear and obvious violation of the Geneva Convention and a war crime. -John
