East Timor: Foreign Police and Peace Keepers

East Timor

Beyond Teresa feels that criticism of international military and police forces that they act like they are on vacation in East Timor is wrong. “From a sociological and psychological point of view: these people are away from home and friends, in a tropical climate, and some have the chance to enjoy their breaks in the beach. Can you infer that all they do is vacationing? If there are proofs of a direct connection between spending time at the beach and the lack of effectiveness in fighting violence bring them up.”
