nation... Please check out

| Death of a Nation - East Timor |
 |
On December 7, 1975 Indonesia secretly - but with
the complicity of the Western powers including the
US, the UK, and Australia - invaded the small
nation of East Timor. Two Australian television
crews attempting to document the invasion were
murdered.
In 1993, with the Indonesian army still occupying
the country, John Pilger and his crew including
director David Munro, slipped into East Timor and
made this film. In the intervening 18 years, an
estimated 200,000 East Timorese - 1/3 of the
population - had been slaughtered by the
Indonesian military. The C.I.A. has described it
as one of the worst mass-murders of the 20th
century.
Pilger tells the story using clandestine footage
of the countryside, internment camps and even
Fretlin guerillas, as well as interviews with
Timorese exiles, including Jose Ramos Horta and
Jose Gusmao, and Australian, British, and
Indonesian diplomats.
Nixon had called Indonesia the "greatest prize in
southeast Asia" because of its oil reserves and
other natural resources. Even though Indonesia had
no historic or legal claim to East Timor, it was
convenient for diplomats to declare that East
Timor, just gaining its independence from
Portugal, would not be a viable state.
However the lie was given to this argument when
Australia and Indonesia signed the Timor Gap Oil
Treaty and carved up the huge oil and gas reserves
in the seabed off East Timor.
None of the politicians from that period -
President Ford, Henry Kissinger, Daniel Moynihan,
Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Gough Whitlam - has
clean hands. The Indonesian military used US and
British planes to bombard the island, while the
defense ministers proclaimed ignorance.
As Pilger gets an Austrlian diplomat to admit,
East Timor was considered "expendable."
But no one watching the massacre in the Dili
cemetery can excuse the geopolitical machinations
that led to this genocide.
