How is removing a regime thats retarding world peace a societal difference of opinion? If Indonesias actions were threatening the world at large then yes it would be time to evaluate this action in the same light. Its not.[/quote:425a2]

rofl... good point, it is a bit of a bad comparison... my point is that everywhere in the world is different and sometimes we (the western world) assume that everyone strives to be like us, which many do, but many don't... I guess I've always thought that democracy was something that couldn't be forced on people, I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens...
