The Fool quoted:
Jones says the popularity of the view reflects deep-seated resentmentWhat? Both of them? There are practically NO Indonesians with a "very strong sense of nationalism and national identity". Indonesia is a colonial empire that just happens to be largely contiguous. The people are still Javanese, or Balinese or Timorese etc etc
against the United States: "The U.S. is seen as having put extreme
pressure on the Indonesian government to go after Muslim targets. And
that has been resented not just by the extremist Muslim groups in
Indonesia, but also by people who have a very strong sense of nationalism
and national identity -- and don't want to see Indonesia pushed around by
the United States."
Not to mention the fact that this lot predominantly wear Levis & Nikes, drink Coke, and fire M16s as national pastimes (the vocal protesting rabble saying all this Anti-US stuff that is, not the Indonesian people generally)
