The biggest crime Indonesia has is being an OPEC nation without a dictatorship.
It is like every little tin god that comes into power makes off with the treasury. You know in the USA it is bankrupt bankers that are immune from prosecution by "W,” but in Indonesia it is a little more prosecutible, especially when Interpol gives a hand. But, jeeze. How are things in Kuala Lumpur? Maybe the government officials need to be provided an incentive to keep their hands out of the cookie jar. Like, maybe a ‘trust fund’ for them when they leave office with a clean record of service.
The people of Indonesia are great people. They protect their waters, or at least try to. They try to bring equity to all the different ethnic groups. They have volcanos that displace their populous on a regular basis. They make room for threatened and endangered species while protecting vital rainforests necessary as carbon sinks for Earth. They are really great people, but, they get these LOSERS in the government that can't seem to understand the Indonesian Treasury is not theirs to have.
They are sort of like Cheney that sabotages every effort to find a Vice Presidential candidate to allow him to get into the Oval Office and reek havoc all over the globe to 'bailout' his 'cooked books' at Halliburton. Next time can we simply give the idiots at Halliburton immunity and offer to bail them out? Okay? I mean the corruption that goes on when the USA doesn't step to the plate and the deaths globally are really not acceptable. At least the way the corruption happens in Indonesia there aren't any wars and mass death of ethnic minorities.
For real.
I am serious. Sooner or later and preferably sooner the USA has to take responsibility for what 'goes on' with the high level of corruption of its government. The Indonesians do. They don't allow 'powerful' people to walk all over them. Maybe we need Interpol.. I mean what the hell already!
The difference between the citizen experience in Indonesia and the USA is that they uphold justice and morality within their government and society. I am referring to 'sexual morality' which is a religious dogma. It is about the way decent people can hold their government accountable for corrupt practices that are created by 'loopholes.'
Indonesia has it tough, far tougher than the USA in securing domestic peace. It is a country of islands and within those islands are ethnic minorities that are victimized by other ethnic minorities. I has a vast distance from its policing operations to some of the more distant islands. So, to respond to violence is not necessary immediate, they sometimes take days to respond simply because their 'dispatch' is a greater distance from their operations base. But, for as difficult it is for dispatch to these areas, over the decades, there has been far better 'peacefulness' within the country. Nothing is perfect in countries challenged in these ways, but, the police do a fairly good job of it.
I remember demonstrations years ago. I am trying to remember whether it was linked to violence in the USA with the 911 attacks. The demonstrations were allowed to continue and there was peaceful and orderly demonstrators taken seriously by their government. It is an interesting country, but, they don't people rob their country blind. Interesting people. I guess, I congratulate them for a quick return of the bozo. Their level of justice when it comes to these issues is actually more advanced than that of the USA. There are too, too many examples of high level corruption, especially under Bush/Cheney that can be pointed to as being 'swept under the carpet.' That isn't the case here. The USA needs to do better. Far better.
