It to our ( The "international Community" ) shame and our (the international community) that we did not nothing about it........... correction... my government did do something about it... it sold arms to the Indonesians.. :(.
As too why the Muslim world did nothing? .............they had a lot on thier minds, what with Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia.. ( naming these countries off the top of my head so might have missed some..) all subjected to direct military assualt by the US and\or it's proxies in the last two decades.. then of course there are those more obscure countries like Chechnya, Kosovo and so on taking a battering from the hands of the former soviets..... Not to mention the country that really hit the jackpot... Afghanistan that managed to get a good kicking from first one side, then the other.
Now, if I was paranoid , and a muslim, I be wondering if the rest of the world really did intend to wipe us out.....and that maybe people like Saddam Hussien and OBL might have a point.
But I'm not paranoid, nor a muslim
