Good Riddance!
 

Former Indonesian dictator Suharto has died.


"Indonesia ex-leader Suharto dies"


"Suharto - Obituary"


"Suharto - Wikipedia"



"One of our very best and most valuable friends" according to Maggie (she also liked Pinochet)...

"Our model dictator"

Sorry ?

I don't particularly approve of rejoicing to someone's death no matter how bad they are.

Re: Good Riddance!
 

I suppose the Ultimate good riddance would have been for everyone to just totally ignore his passing, although you cannot ignore the fact of so many deaths either directly or in-directly accountable during his reign, not to mention basic human rights violations also.

I'm sorry but both of you are entitled to your viewpoints.Let's not get snippy about it though.:)

I'm not into being hypocritical about the dead though I must say.If someone does evil deeds then it's fine to point that out in my opinion.

Re: Good Riddance!
 

Fair enough.


However, I do.


Although I'd have preferred if he had faced justice, rather than escape (via death) like Pinochet did.


For someone like him, saying "RIP" would be rather inappropriate I think.

Yes, 'Complete ******* Escapes Justice' would be more like it. We did pick 'em, didn't we?
