Michele 1 #1 January 14, 2005 Can anyone confirm this? I can't seem to find a story on it. From what I understand, Indonesia says that all foreign troops need to be gone by March 1...they are saying it's because they're worried for their safety, which may be true as they have a huge contingent of insurgents (their term) and and don't want to haveforeign troops there for too long, lest it rile them. Other people say it's because there are some serious human rights issues, as well as wanted terrorists that are being blocked from view, and the Indonesian government doesn't want them to be seen. However, they do not have the ability to reconstruct their country from the horrible tsunamis, nor distribute food, water, and medical aid. But they'll take our cash...and our supplies...and it won't get to where it's needed, at least not in total (or even mostly). Like I said, I can't confirm this...can anyone else supply a story link? If true, those poor people. Man oh man, those poor people. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickjump1 0 #2 January 14, 2005 Fox News and or NBC had the story this evening (I was switching between channels. All the info I have is hearsay to include the story circulating in the Moslem world that the tsunami was caused by a nuclear test conducted by the US and Israel.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

slug 1 #3 January 14, 2005 QuoteFox News had the story this evening. Read about it on a news service so should be able to google it. I think in the past other countries tried the same tactic to starve out the insurgents/frredom fighters and their supporters. Dirty politic's/war R.i.P.
