The notion that we should have kept peacekeepers, that the United Nations should have kept hundreds of military in East Timor in case their politicians behaved badly, is muddle headed. I don’t think that was the right thing to do. I think the sooner the East Timorese take control of their own affairs, the better off that country will be.
