Whenever Palestine kills 3 Israeli policemen, Israel kills 20 Palestinian civilians, usually including a couple of teenagers and a women or two. It's not exactly "an eye for an eye"... they take advantage of US protection and a nuclear deterrent and do what they want.<br />Of course, I may be wrong, and I'm willing to argue it out...Matt WJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974547857246649246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164073633121544188.post-76792347355125772502010-09-25T03:31:55.594-07:002010-09-25T03:31:55.594-07:00Interesting post.

I'm sure it's more about protesting against the USA. Your comment about Indonesians barely seeing past their neighbourhood is true. I can't help feeling that if the Indonesian masses had been a bit more nationally and internationally minded, the country could have shaken off the shackles of CONOCO and turned the country into something like the USA. Not that I should complain too much, if it weren't for CONOCO (they paid my dad well) and President Suharto's corrupt regime, I wouldn't be the champagne socialist I am today ;)CHChttp://www.greynorth.netnoreply@blogger.com
