Zusammenfassung:In 1975, after almost 400 years of Portuguese rule, the tiny island nation of East Timor (population 700,000) declared its independence. Nine days later, Indonesia (current population about 200,000,000) invaded. In the first few months, 60,000 East Timorese were killed; by now, well over 200,000 have died
Noam Chomsky calls it "perhaps the greatest death toll relative to the population since the Holocaust." Yet Indonesia's actions are supported - both diplomatically and economically - by the United States, Canada, Australia and most other Western nations
