    Found my book of the Internationale arms trade, I shall now be reading exerts out of it. So I probably won't be responding to anything else anyone says while I read it.

    Here's a fine example of a western powers double standard on Genocide.
    Indonesia

    Indonesia is a classic example of a country with a repressive military armed by Western powers anxious to maintain Indonesia's friendship for geopolitical reasons.
    In October 1965, a botched coup against President Sukarno resulted in General Suharto taking power. Suharto initiated a six-month orgy of killing against the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), described by Amnesty as ranking 'among the most massive violation of human rights since the Second World War'. The killings took the lives of at least half a million Indonesians. Suharto then set up a military dictatorship, ruling Indonesia until 1998.
    Britain and the US welcomed the Suharto takeover and gave him considerable support throughout his time in power. In 1975, Indonesia invaded East Timor and occupied it, at the cost eventually of up to 183,000 lives. Despite this, Britain sold Indonesia Hawk ground-attack aircraft in 1978, 1981, 1982 and 1983. Despite the Indonesian Army's massacre of over 400 civilians at a peaceful demonstration in Dili, East Timor, in 1991, Britain permitted more major arms deals with Indonesia. In 1993 and 1996 Indonesia bought more Hawk aircraft from Britain, and in 1995 and 1996 Scorpion tanks and Stormers armored vehicles.


    (Boy these are going to all take awhile to type out.)

    So go get money from some South American royalty figure/government administrator/business executive. Come on, it's not like because a diplomat said yes to a No-Fly Zone that country is 100% going to deny lones.
