Indonesia's former dictator General Suharto has died in bed and not in jail, escaping justice for his numerous crimes in East Timor and throughout the Indonesian archipelago. One of the worst mass murderers of the 20th century, his death tolls still shock:  

 

* 500,000 to one million Indonesians in the aftermath of his 1965 seizure of power;

 

* 100,000 in West Papua;

 

* 100,000 to 200,000 in East Timor, which his troops illegally invaded in 1975;

 

*  tens of thousands more in Aceh and elsewhere. Suharto also accumulated an appalling legacy of corruption - 15 to 35 billion dollars stolen by him and his family.

 

Suharto has avoided personal accountability for the genocide, destruction and corruption he inflicted upon those he presumed to rule. However, the generals, cronies and family members who carried out his orders via massacre, torture and theft must not get off so easily. Those who murdered and pillaged on behalf of Suharto and his "New Order" regime must be brought to justice.Good riddance, one less bloody dictator gone to oblivion…

 

Next stop : Kissenger and the whole Bush/Cheney junta !
