East Timor

When were we (The US) in East Timor?

The US just pulled it's support out of East Timor in Dec 2002

I guess it took a back seat to Afgahnistan/Iraq/Dijbouti/Georgia and all our other endevours. What was the problem there anyway?

 

[RnderSafe]

Back in '99, insurgents formed local militias (or at least violently active ones) after East Timor passed a vote of independence from Indonesia.
