Yes, a new level of honesty has been reached. Slavoj iek, love him or hate him, shares an idea of mine - that we are in a very bleak moment of history - When he was talking with Julian Assange (Wikileaks), about US war (& other) crimes; he said something about how amazing it is that these days people can be caught red-handed in said war crimes, yet with stupefying impunity, simply reply with the likes of 'So what'!?
Welcome to sinister conundrums and lack of accountability 101; where post modernity has brought us. Welcome to an amazing Doco that shows us this stark reality, transplanted to Indonesia. Imagine these days, hopefully less people (than at any other point in history) would accept an official criticism of Indonesia from the International Community. Why, of course the USA supported Suharto, fascists and the massacring of (supposed) Communists.
So, there you have it - eternal impunity, and let's look forward to a huge amount of war crimes & genocides, still happening and still to come! (Sarcasm's in the 'look forward to it' part, nowhere else, unfortunately).
