of design and execution.

What the policy wonks in Washington and Canberra were thinking when they decided that the people of East Timor (European, Christian and democratic) would be better off living under an Asian, Islamic dictatorship makes one wonder. The Kool-Aid must have been running free and fast in the corridors of power.

It's like the rest of the world saying to the USA "Look, we think you'd benefit from being occupied by Saudia Arabia, so don't question it, just accept your fate. OK, so they are a different race and religion, and they don't know the meaning of the word democracy, but it's an ideologically superior situation", and then looking surprised when some of them fight back. Isn't Kool-Aid wonderful.
