>he can't walk away from the independence-minded province.

>To cheers from retired military officers at a party, Defense Minister Gen.
>Wiranto dedicated the song to foreign journalists:  "I hope you have the

>His eyebrows arched in restrained emotion, Wiranto held the microphone in
>both hands and stood stiffly in a yellow batik shirt and crooned as a band
>played the 1975 hit popularized by Paul Williams:
>
>"Feelings, nothing more than feelings, trying to forget my feelings of 
>love.''

>"Teardrops, rolling down on my face, trying to forget my feelings of love.
>Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it ... I wish I've never met you, girl;
>you'll never come again.''

>He hit all the high notes.

>Wiranto earlier said Indonesia's army, which invaded East Timor in 1975, is
>profoundly attached to the former Portuguese colony and those residents who
>backed Indonesian rule.
>
>The international community has condemned the military for aiding and
>directing anti-independence militias in a murderous rampage against East
>Timorese who voted in a U.N.-backed referendum to break away from
>Indonesia. (snip)

>Music to kill freedom fighters and innocent citizens by, I suppose.
