Xanana Gusmao, President of East Timor, spoke with Richard Glover on ABC Radio yesterday.
The interview is an insight into the determination and strength of one of humanity's most remarkable personalities. From almost two decades of guerilla warfare against Indonesian forces Xanana Gusmao has emerged as a leader of reconciliation and peacemaker in this fledgling democracy.
"The spirit to accept sacrifices, the determination to continue to resist was so impressive that, we the leaders, we didn't have any alternative."

The new oil and gas agreement between Australia and East Timor will be anounced shortly. We will see if the government is as keen to support democracy in East Timor as it is in Iraq.
