How about this war?

Greetings all activists,
I must say that I am rather dissapointed by the lack of voice from the Western world concerning the war in Aceh province in Indonesia.
In teh past weeks Indonesian troops have occupied the territory and killed hundreds of civilians.
Why was the war in Iraq so much more wrong than this war? Aceh has enjoyed partial indepence for years and has struggled for indepence for all the time, and now Indonesian goverment has decided to get rid off all oppsiton and declare a martial law in Aceh...

I would like to see atleast some opposition to this occupation, but perhaps you are all too busy burning petrol stations and shouting accross the police fence in France...hopefully atleast some of you will notice this mail!!

Especially about the fact that British-made military hardware is being used to kill these people!

The G8 protests have always been about smashing the arms-trade (amongst many other things) and so demonstrating in Evian is not at all unrelated to trying to stop the war Aceh!

Maybe a demonstration outside the Indonesian Embassy would be a good idea though?
