I agree with you. Thomas, len, Gus and others will never change. Of course, the same could be said of us, but we at least acknowledge the truth.

East Timor? Only with MASSIVE US military logistical support was that UN mission carried out.

What are you babbling about here? Indonesia invaded East Timor and slaughtered a large part of the population. The US provided major military support. We accelerated arms shipments as the slaughter increased, providing over 90% of their arms at the peak. Nixon and Ford visited Indonesia the day before the invasion to give the green light. Daniel Patrick Moynihan went to the UN with the specific mission of BLOCKING the UN from intervening (he succeeded).

To anyone who doesn't already know how you operate, your inane comments on East Timor might be revealing. To the rest of us, they are just more stale propaganda.
