Indonesia's torture of East Timor began in 1975, following the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, a leftist coup that led to the breakup of the Portuguese Empire, Angola, Mozambique, and East Timor included. Billions of dollars worth of undeveloped oil and natural gas reserves lie both on- and off-shore the half-island territory, located some 300 miles north of the Australian city of Darwin. But whereas an independent East Timor has always possessed the potential to turn into a "democratic Kuwait" or a "democratic Brunei," as the Indonesian scholar George J. Aditjondro observes, a re-conquered East Timor, subjugated by neighboring Indonesia on behalf of the international energy sector and the Western powers, gave both Indonesia and Australia the chance to capture these reserves for themselves. >> We do have a predilection toward the assistance of oil rich countries, dont't we?
