Foreign aid out in three months

I was totally disgusted to hear that the Indonesian government has ordered foreign military aid to pull out of Indonesia in three months from the day the tsunami struck. If it wasn't for foreign military aid, thousands of more people would have died from further injuries and infection.

They were risking lives to help others there. To be ordered out is a huge insult. The Indonesian government has said that the Indonesian military can handle the situation from March 26.

The Indonesian government can't or won't even stop the separatists from killing more people in devastated communities. I feel very sorry for the people who have lost everything in the tsunami. NATHAN FLANAGAN Sydney, Australia
