As political parties began to form and emerge inside the country, the Indonesian military headed an operation that backed Apodeti, a pro-Indonesian party that encouraged divisions between the pro-independence parties of East Timor.[citation needed] This led[citation needed] to a brief civil war in 1975 as well as a series of attacks across borders. Indonesia alleged that the East Timorese FRETILIN party, which received some vocal support from the Peoples Republic of China, was communist. Fearing a Communist domino effect in Southeast Asia?and in the wake of its South Vietnam campaign?the United States,[11] along with its ally Australia, supported the pro-Western Indonesian governments actions. The UN Security Council had a unanimous vote for Indonesia to stop its invasion and to withdraw immediately from East Timor?s borders, and was blocked by the United States from imposing any economic sanctions or other means of enforcing this mandate.

You know, its easy to sit in front of your computers and pass judgement. Had you been there and seen the faces of the folks in the crowd as speaker after speaker talked about war, torture, our loss of civil rights, you would have seen your next door neighbors, your co-workers, your family, your loved ones. You wouldve seen the faces of people who dearly love this country but are absolutely sickened and horrified by the direction are nation is heading. You wouldve see the faces of our young people wishing to believe in a better future. You wouldve seen the faces of the older generation that still hold the sad bitter memories of Vietnam. But mostly you wouldve seen the faces of a nation sadden, sickened, and afraid of a government that has lied to us and has made us feel ashamed.
The folks who gathered at City Hall yesterday represented our hopes and our dreams. We are Americans, all of us.
We can do better.
