Decapitating a strong leader without a plan for the resulting power vacuum can lead to chaos, as seen in Iraq after the removal of Saddam Hussein.

In December 1998, Albright stated that the Iraqi people would benefit from a government that truly represented them, indicating a shift in U.S. foreign policy towards democracy in both Iraq and Indonesia.

The people who promoted the Iraq War lied us into conflict, leading to national bankruptcy and a weakened dollar, yet they faced no consequences.

The U.S. interventions in Indonesia and other countries often led to atrocities and the destruction of democratic foundations, driven by the goal of maintaining control over resources and political power.

On May 20, 1998, Secretary of State Albright called for Indonesian President Suharto to resign and facilitate a democratic transition, which occurred shortly after.

The U.S. faces a challenge of oscillating between establishing and destroying dictatorships, which complicates its foreign policy.

From 1965 until 1998, Suharto was considered "our kind of guy" by the Clinton administration, despite his regime's record of massacres and human rights abuses.

If you invade a country, you must commit to reconstruction; abandoning efforts leads to the undoing of progress, as seen in Afghanistan.

The Clinton administration suspended its review of Indonesia's labor practices while praising the country for aligning with international standards, all while supporting Suharto's regime.
