dave the penny has dropped... people are Dave do you believe that had we not involved ourselves in E Timor, we would never have suffered a Bali?
Anyway, what was the alternative? Close our eyes to what went on in E Timor?
Or was it our moral business only because E Timor is on our doorstep?
In other words, are our moral standards set by proximity?
The closer the problem the more moral our involvement?
