Are these the same Australians who keep criticizing the U.S. for using troops to try and bring peace to Iraq?

Firstly i am an australian. But your not lucky to have australias help. We should have done alot more when indonesia invaded east timor. Unfortunately the coward gough whitlam did nothing, we owe the people of east timor for not doing the right thing back then. So our commitment to helping east timor reach and enjoy a peaceful democracy knows no bounds. Its now up to the east timorese people to take their nation forward, as we stand by your side if needed.

!!!!!

Jealousy is an evil thing…is dirty…degrading and stupid.

Australia is a friend of East Timor…we have been…and always be good friends.

From the 7th of December 1975 “YOU Indonesia” came to Timor, rape our land and its people - your mission was to annihilate my EAST TIMOR - even that you did not do a good job – you know why??? It’s because you Indonesia is so…. F……g useless.

From the late 1998 East Timor became Independent from ‘You INDONESIA,’ we kick your arse democratically - you run back to your hell hole with your tail between your legs….now your are Jealous!!!???

Mate, just try to address that filthy, sickneing society of yours, and leave my TIMOR alone. Useless…

Wow, Nehek. You want us to leave Timor alone?
Then you wont believe in what a rep. of your TIMOR govt was doing in my country. Detik.com quoted him as saying in Yogyakarta (15/2/2008):

"Kita berharap mahasiswa negara kami diperlakukan seperti mahasiswa lokal, tidak seperti mahasiswa asing. Indonesia harus menganggap Timor Leste sebagai adik kandungnya."
Rui Manuel Hanjam, in Yogyakarta, 15/2/2008.

Translation :"We hope students from our country are treated as local students, not as foreign ones. Indonesia must treat Timor Leste as its younger brother."

Laugh out loud if you wish, many others will share the laughter with you in that.
Does not sound like wanting to be left alone, does it?

LOL. And for a long time, I guess.
As Ramesh Thakur in an article put it rightly : "What used to be Indonesia's nightmare, is now Australia's."

What does 'emang enak' in English? ;)

Dear Corry and Ningtyas! Does it bother you when East Timor goverment was asking Australia to help timor? Sorry if ET does not need your help in terms of security! Maybe east timor needs you more of others field such as education but not in security! it is funny if you ask the indonesian soldiers to come to Timor to ESTABLISH peace after they had done so much dehumanisation against Timorese right? So, MIND YOUR OWN PROBLEM if this is not your problem! Of course nehek gets angry if you try to say some words that irritate him! So, I sugest mind your internal problem in indonesia such as fIGHTING AND TSUNAMI IN ACEH, problem in Maluku, eARTH QUAKE IN sumatra now there is new problem regarding despute between some javanese about who should be the king of Java etc! I understand you want to give moral suport to tIMORESE BUT this is to early for you! East Timorese are still in pain!
