I have some questions too: How much have the US gained from Indonesian resources? How many other countries in the world have done so since the 1960's by meddling in the Indonesian internal politics? > The U.S. also sends funds to some Asian countries to > help stop human trafficking -- is there any other > country doing the same thing? > > This is a better question: Is there any country in > this world that does not receive any help from the > U.S. in any way?

You must be kidding. Money for silence? What would American democracy say about that? Even Americans are critical on their government policies, do you really think US$468 Million will shut up the Indonesians? You would be stupid and cheap to have thought so. Why don't you ask the people living in ghetto neighbourhoods in New York, Detroit and elsewhere in the US about the US$468 Million aid to Indonesia. See if they're happy about it, especially when they realize such aid funds would usually end up in the hands of a few rich Indonesians, so filthy rich even by American standards. If you really love America, you should tell its government to spend the taxpayers money helping the American homeless instead of giving the money to a foreign country for some political agenda, especially when that political agenda has to do with something like shutting up the Indonesians.
