hmm...not much to go on is there.
as opposed to your worries that indonesia may pose a threat to aus...indonesia is too busy battling its own terrorist factions to be bothered....

Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd called on Mr Howard to repudiate Mr Downer's remarks, as the minister was demonstrating he was a national security liability. "This justifies a military attack on Australia. It's sheer and absolute lunacy," he said.

for or against pre emptive strikes?

We would have to have extremely good intelligence, eg. Not Children over Board.

In the case of Indonesia, we have worked to hard to get to our current level of co-operation.

I think we would first have to ask the Indonesian Government if they would deal with it, and if not, we would.

2) Trolling for random SMH links != Good topics. Please spare us and DONT look for something else.

Well there he goes again Downer proves again just how severe his foot in mouth disease is.

Indonesia is NO THREAT refer to my post http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=41426&page=8&pp=15 as to why Indonesia poses no threat.

Mr Downer wasn't talking about Indonesia invading Australia as a state trying to knock down another, but rather as the Indo govt protecting their own citizens and interests by taking out terrorist groups training in Australia (obviously hypothetical, seeing as the Aust govt would probably cooperate anyway).
However, addymac is right in that Indonesia doesn't really have the capacity to launch a coordinated, precise strike on foreign soil when they are struggling with internal issues and separatists and terrorists on their own soil.
It was a bad way of trying to justify/worm out of the problems of pre-emptive strikes, but not totally ludicrous in theoretical terms.
