indonesian response to deteriorating situation, page-126

"just read in the news that apology is not enough according to SBY."

I hope he doesnt even get the apology. Apologising for something one is not guilty of is not the way to win respect with those people....It would make us lose respect and be targeted for further blackmail.
The Indonesians were acting funny on the issue of the boats and their sovreignty before this spying business arose.Maybe they wanted more money? Anyway, someone from Australia then took advantage, no doubt for political gain, to stir up a hornet's nest over the spying issue.
Apologising and giving them money is NOT the way to win their respect....
Abbott didnt do anything wrong....
Any reparation paid should be by way of a cruise missile homing in on Bambang's mobile....and another 2 aimed at Fairfax and the ABC, one each..Maybe our US friends can help there?
