　　1990年，萨达姆·侯赛因问：既然1975年时，印度尼西亚可以把东帝汶变成它的第27个省，那为什么他不能把科威特变成伊拉克的第19个省呢？答：冷战结束了。

—— 西奥多·弗林德《印度尼西亚的命运》

Indonesia used fear of communism to garner varying degrees of support among western countries, including the United States and Australia, for its East Timor invasion and occupation.[206] The invasion and suppression of East Timor's independence movement caused great harm to Indonesia's reputation and international credibility.[8] Criticism from the developing world undermined efforts in the 1980s to secure the Non-Aligned Movement chair which Suharto strongly desired for Indonesia and condemnation of Indonesia continued through the 1990s.[207]
