I find his death somehow less satisfying than Pinochet's. I mean, both evaded justice, but it seemed like Pinochet's legacy was rather more thoroughly erased by the time he died. Things have certainly improved a lot in Indonesia, but the military still has an awful lot of influence and West Papua is still under the heel though East Timor is free and Aceh at peace. There were parties in Santiago, don't think they're really happening in Jakarta.
Ha. Just realised you are a friend of both sabotabby and liz_marcs. Such a person should be on my f-list! Hope you don't mind if I add you?
