It's no big deal that Australia has sent troops to reestablish
order in Timor Leste for, during the Second World War, the Timorese saved
hundreds of Aussies fighting the Japanese. Australia is merely returning
the favour.
Martinho
Before Timor's independence, Australia and Indonesia divided
up the oilfields in the Sea of Timor between themselves --
oilfields which belonged to neither of these two major nations.
Since Timor's independence, Australia has been occupying the
oilfields in the Sea of Timor.
The bullying must cease forthwith -- not only for
the benefit of Timor Leste but also because such bullying is bound to
destabize the region and will cause the bullies endless trouble.
Australia should pour the oil of peace on troubled
waters or there's going to be a mighty explosion in the region
-- an explosion caused by lack of fairness and by strong-arm
tactics.
MIGHT ISN'T RIGHT -- IT'S RIGHT THAT IS
MIGHT
