It's a bit silly and a little ignorant to be picking the eyes out of the Indonesian response to this incident. Maybe some of the bureaucratic actions regarding permits deserve criticism, but I would say the efforts of the search and recovery teams have been pretty impressive. Maybe they don't quite have the level of experience of their western counterparts, but don't underestimate Indonesians' intelligence, toughness, determination, sense of justice, sense of respect, marine skills, and desire to make this right.

If you are just going to take barely-informed pot shots from the sidelines, it says more about you than it does about them.
