Did you say? And yet the UN called on Australia to help in every way when the Timorese struggled against the Indons' occupation and their own sections that did not want independence from Indonesia. The UN did this, since they know that Portugal that should have been doing this, was and is not competent enough! The Potuguese are the cause of all the 'turmoil and tragedy' in Timor after giving them freedom; since they did not back it up with defense and other security etc. You are surely owning guilt on behalf of the Portuguese here!

All this against > International Law. Nasci: On what basis do you say that 'treaties' between two sovereign countries are 'illegal' ?? When the Indons were in control, the treaty was between Indonesia and Australia; now that East Timor is an indendent nation, the new treaty is between East Timor and Australia, on sharing of the produce from the Oil and Gas fields. These fields belong to both East Timor and Australia; they are midway in what is called 'the Timor Gap'. Hence the treaties to clarify and share etc. This is good international co-operation and help and Aid! Nothing wrong with it! Paulo: > We will see what happens in the next few days. Then > we will talk. Nasci: I am not interested, in your views or in continuing this dialogue; If you are so concerned, you shouild go into East Timor, and help these people and try to bring 'peace' between the 'easterners' and westerners' and not spread falsehood. Beware of the machetes; Take a bag of rice and Goa sausages and some feny with you, please! :-) Regards Nasci Caldeira ____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
