−
Suharto ordered an invasion of the small island of East Timor to overthrow the murderous communist front group FRETELIN.  A Truth Commission found that 17,600-19,600 Timorese were violently killed and about 100,000 died from hunger and illness.  The deaths were spread out evenly over the entire 25-year occupation.  Indonesian forces were responsible for more than two-thirds of the killings.  The excess deaths have not be attributed definitively to either side.<ref>http://www.ictj.org/en/news/features/846.html</ref>  Radical leftists attempted to conflate the sluaghter with the Cambodian Holocaust, in which the communists massacred or starved to death 2.2 million people in four years of peacetime--27% of Cambodia's 1975 population of 8.1 million.  There is no comparison between the two crimes.
