. . . nationalist politicians in the world's most populous Muslim country have been grumbling about "American interlopers."
Indonesia's new president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, is a former general in a country that has been under martial law for much of its recent history.
What more do we need to know? In the future, when disasters like the tsunami happen to Muslim countries, we'll just let the Muslim nations take care of it . . . . . like Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, etc., etc., etc.
Sort of like the way that they all jumped in to help out with this disaster.
This way we can keep our "interloping" down to a minimum and let all that aid sit and rot because the countries we are helping (interloping) can't get it to the victims.

The populous parts are all situated in the low lying coastal plains and this fact, coupled with the very flimsy construction and severe overcrowding of what are, in effect, shanty towns, leads me to believe the toll is very large - Larger even than what is now being reported.
"Flimsy construction" except for the mosques which seem to be the only buildings left standing in a lot of areas since the mosques where well built. Which makes sense because that's the way all gov't offices are built......

I have always tried hard to abide by the fact that it's easy to be kind to those who are kind back, but these people are stretching my patience very thin. Since we likely aren't taking any money back, we should defy them and stay in to make sure there is at least a teensy bit of oversight.

I specifically posted that the U.S. would be vilified before this was all over. Let them take care of their own. How stupid we are.

There are three rules of international politics that everyone on this board should always remember, and that President Bush probably keeps uppermost in his mind:
1. It is always better to be feared than loved.
2. People are no damn good.
3. No f*#&ing Good Deed goes unpunished.
Believe me, you're hearing this because the local pols are hearing the imams give the call for jihad against the American interlopers. I say publicly drop our goods on the beach, pull our troops out, publicly tell the Indonesians that we're going off to help people who actually appreciate the fact that we are helping thousands in need (such as the Sri Lankans, the Indians, and the Thais) and tell the ungrateful bastards that if the Toba Caldera goes off, Krakatoa acts up, or they get hit by an asteroid the size of city bus, they should ring up the f*%&ing Religion of Peace and leave us the hell alone.
Jesus, all we tried to do was our Christian duty (while the Religion of Peace couldn't even dig into the change purse, by the freaking way) to help others in need. Now we get the kick in the teeth?
Screw 'em.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

Hey, we're over HERE! Give us water. Help our injured. Feed us. I'm waving the flag...
Oh, and Israel... thanks for the money you sent.
Now get the hell out of Indonesia.
Good thing the whole Christian world sent these people billions.

Do they want any others who have to come help to get out (like the Brits and Aussies), or is it just us?

Screw'em. Pull out all relief workers, and definitely pull out the troops, and cut off the cash today. At least the Thais and Indians appreciate the help, but I'm still a little ticked about Sri Lanka not allowing the Israelis in to help.

We should just steam around the island, bomb the mosques and help Thailand out a lot more.

"Three months are enough," Vice President Jusuf Kalla told the official Antara news agency. "In fact, the sooner [they leave] the better." What a slap in the face! Screw them. Send our soldiers somewhere where they're appreciated.

Call me a cold-hearted SOB if you will, but I'd have told 'em to eat sand and drink seawater and dress in palm fronds.
I am way past fed up with my tax dollars going overseas for ANY reason.
Eff 'em. Let 'em clean up their own messes.
