@Zanth1s

I don't think that he had done anything to justify his actions, there is no evidance to suggest he did. He was in a position in which he probably didn't see a need to justify his actions. Suharto used terror to establish himself as leader, so his people feared him, and were in no position to question his motives. Having the US as his primary ally only rendered him more powerful. With the US involved, the UN could condemn his actions, but do absolutely nothing.

@ccmm53095 Thanks for your reply. I have watched the available video parts. But another important, unsaid question here is, "What were the official reasons given by Suharto or his supporters to justify this attack?" What was his pretext? Did he do these things without defending or justifying his actions?

[Zanth1s]

This is a good documentary. The problem is that I don't see part 2. Part 2 is missing. Also, part 3 and part 4 are the same video.  What happened? Is there another missing part? or was part 3 inserted twice accidently?

@Zanth1s

They saw the brutality as being efficacious, as it meant that popular movements could not interfere with US intrests. The Suharto regime had also been seen as an important bastion against the spread of communism in Southeast Asia.
