As FDR said of a certain Central American dictator, "He may be a bastard, but he's our bastard." Suharto was one of ours, god help us, the big bastard.

When you run a police state, torture political prisoners, run a corrupt government as your own fief and line your pockets with stolen millions, you have to expect some of this sort of thing when you die.

And the massacre of thousands at the behest of the U.S. Our bastard indeed.

Suharto vs Pinochet: FITE!

Well Suharto killed like a 50 times as many people.

So he might edge it.
Was also a possible inspiration. Jakarta being daubed on walls in Chile often during the Allende years.

I don't usually speak ill of the dead, but I don't think that scum like him, Pinochet, Pol Pot or any of the others deserve any special consideration just because they're no longer alive. Good riddance.

Imagine Paris Hilton with gangster connections and you've got the Soeharto 'kids'.

I didn't know about the UC Berkeley connection though. That's interesting.
