In Reply to: Indonesia to review jail term cuts ..... posted by swt on Friday, 7. October 2005 at 18:35 Bali Time:
Every time any Western government opens up it's big mouth and starts shouting about what Indonesia should do, it makes it twice as hard for Indonesia to do it.
Even if they were going to do it anyway, as soon as they do it they face criticism for being a Western lackey.
And if they don't do it, they face all sorts of sanctions until they are forced to do it, and then they still get the criticism.
Stuff like this should be whispered in the ear, not shouted to the world. The shouting is all for the benefit of the person shouting. It doesn't help SBY one little bit.
