This really makes me mad. Talk about ungrateful.

This really makes me mad. Talk about ungrateful.

I think the people there are very grateful for the aid we're giving, it is the government that is the problem. What's worse is that the government was quite happy that this particular portion was destroyed since it was where they were already having the most problems.

You know, a lot of places in the world should be most grateful that we're not conquerors, as we'd own these islands in a heartbeat.

This really makes me mad. Talk about ungrateful.

It's a pity people were snookered into opening their wallets for such ingrates, especially when most of the "aid" will be stolen anyway.

Hopefully, someone will leave a crapload of bibles around, in multiple places, accidentally of course...

Leave now, leave all of them. Let them rely on that terrific Muslim aid.

In addition to being ordered to leave by end of March, I heard tonight where the US Military agreed to not carry weapons. This is an al Qaeda trap for US troops. They are in Indonesia and would love to hurt the US Military.

Maybe we should tell the Indonesian government that we are sorry for the intrusion and extract the troops tomorrow, scratch that, remove them tonight.

I say we should get the hell out of that dump right now and take our money with us.This is the reason why I don't think we should ever give a dime to countries who are unfriendly towards us.Every single time we go to the aid of a country in need we always end up looking like a bunch of suckers.Let them eat sand,it's what they deserve.

Kicking those who are trying to help, out of the country is a nice way to spark, or strengthen a revolution.

Aceh province is where the terrorists operate. The gov't of Indonesia doesn't want aid workers in the way when they resume anti-terror operations.

Would you alllow armed Indonesian troops Florida?

I think not.
