Brad misses my point.  My point is that the deaths in Indonesia -- see his own
quote below -- need to be attributed to liberal U. S. capitalism.  Along with
those in other places I mentioned.  But Brad seems to treat them as bad behavior
of the Suharto regime, with no connection to American military support.  Is that
your position Brad -- that what happened in Indonesia when Suharto took over had
nothing to do with the US economy?

    Well, what about this month in Indonesia, where the USA is leaning on the
government there to squeeze people down to starvation so that US energy
companies can get paid for corrupt deals with Suharto?
