So what's the happiest ending to this story?
The criminal Indonesian Muslim leadership in Jakarta finally refuses to allow any more of these 'asylum-seekers' to disembark at their airports.
It's as simple as that. Without the criminal cooperation of Indonesia's Muslim leadership ~ none of this would be happening.
Not the drownings. Not 'Christmas Island'. Not Manus Island and its riots. etc etc.
Why settle for simple?
The New ColossusNot like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
-Emma Lazarus
