It is simple, you guys need a cause to rally behind the boss nowadays. Kirchner gave you this, and the new guy gave you that. The same thing an Indonesian presidential did during the election. That candidate already pointed fingers at "responsible parties" even before the investigation started, stirring the public opinion into his cause.
Nobody is paying attention to South America anymore. So their economy is going down the drains. Some people need to re-invent their national vigour. Sadly, this is where we come together. Our backward third world countries are still aching over the loss like East Timor or Islas Malvinas. Yes, Indonesian government started apologising for Papuans, that's quite an improvement for third world nations who mostly prefers to self-victimise themselves. But then, our refusal to admit that something wrong has been done in East Timor is quite in the contrary. On the other hand, we did it with US approval (and money). True, but we are also a consenting party, we should partially took the blame and endure the shame, let the US be the irresponsible coward in this case.
Our next nationalism project is this rich boy, who doesn't see himself being used by some Indonesian nazi-wannabes to promote their own nationalism senses. The poor guy just wanted to race, and therefore looking for a sponsorship in the most business-savvy way. Yet, many bloggers portrayed him as the "talented but forgotten hero" that upholds our reputation in international stage.
