I find his death somehow less satisfying than Pinochet's
Yeah....also, altho this is more sort of PR stuff, more people in the West seemed convinced Pinochet was, at least, a Bad Person, or at least knew who he was, even if it was through, God help us all, Sting or something. I doubt there's going to be any general name recognition for Suharto, unless, I dunno, people remember The Year of Living Dangerously because it had Mel Gibson in it or something. But of course that doesn't matter as much as his murderousness and awful legacy, the bastard.
Do not mind at all! //goes over to check out your LJ
