Shame on you, Ramos Horta

I was both surprised and shocked to read on page 28 of the Sept. 28 Asiaweek how Ramos Horta, a Nobel laureate, used two most indecent words in labeling the Indonesian Army "animals" and the Indonesian government "bastards".

It is most probably that he does not know the origin and true meaning of these words.

The inset photo showed Ramos Horta in an Auckland church. What were you doing there, Ramos? Shame on you!
