not to flog a dead horse...i say dead mostly because the original poster apparently put this one on fire and forget...
but, a "temporary" base for the best quick strike military force in the world? i can see why they refused...i'm pretty sure we would too. that said, the indoensian military is a huge obstacle to distrubuting aid, apparently... these are the guys we're buddying up to to help win the "War on Terrah." it's the classic example of borrowing trouble. in return for a possible benifit in subduing a muslim populace, we accept a corrupt regime that relies on human rights abuses to stay in power. such a regime so despicable, as to inspire folks to listen to extremist fanatics.
God, when have i heard that one before?
