Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
When is a dictator not a dictator? When he's a "key ally in combating terrorism and extremism".

Let the World Rejoice Again: SUHARTO IS DEAD!
Another one bites the dust.
During his 30 year reign of terror Suharto murdered over 1 million of his fellow Indonesians and over 250,000 East Tomorese, Papuans and Acehnese.
Suharto and his family plundered the country's assets, amassing a fortune of nearly $75billion, much of which has been deposited in their personal bank accounts in Europe. They own hundreds of companies and have shares in thousands more all across the world. They own vast amounts of land and prime real estate in Indonesia and abroad.
Despite all of this he received unwavering support from the USA. They didn't mind what he did as long as he suppressed the Communists.
Even when Suharto was deposed he managed to avoid justice by playing the ill-health card, a favourite amongst former dictators.
