Tom Gauldin writes: > The idea is to leave the US taxpayers and our military people out of it. I agree; IMO it's even legally mandatory to remain officially neutral unless we ourselves get attacked. `In order to provide for the common defense OF us the people of the UNITED STATES, we do ordain and establish that Congress shall have power to raise and support armed forces.' East Timorans aren't covered. They can be covered in the future, though. If you want the government to spend lives and treasure to provide for East Timorans' defense, all you have to do to make it legal is amend the Constitution. Or admit East Timor into the taxpaying Union. 'Til then, everyone should at least be able to agree you've a right to defend non-U.S. people and territory at your own private expense.
