#1 The UN does look hungry for power and loot, and Indonesia does seem to be looking the gift horse in the mouth. My 2Â¢ on why Indonesia is looking schizophrenic about the aid in Aceh is over at this thread. A bit dated, but short and comprehensive, history about the political forces at play in Indonesia is on the Jakarta Post website, Indonesia, a Nation in Transition.

#2 If they don't want our help or $$$ that'a OK with me. Pack up our toys and go home. He is smoking crack if he thinks there are other countries out there that can provide the heavy lifting and Air Support. FYI the cost of those ships/aircraft/personnel is NOT figured into the total amount of relief the U.S./Australia/India have donated so far.

#3 Some there certainly don't want us there. But, those are the bad guys. The good guys are glad we are there. The longer we stay, the more people get a chance to see what we are all about.

The multiple opinions about our presence in Indonesia are typical of any diverse nation. Check out our own internal disputes in the US about NAFTA, or any other serious topic. It's only the wackos in Indonesia that are griping about foreigners on sovereign soil.
