America like many other western countries during the Cold War was sponsoring capitalism during the cold war in the name of democracy to allow a free global market. As long as they kept communism out of reach, it didn't matter what they did.

By which you mean mass murder.

The regime called anyone they wanted communists. "[F]rom union members and women’s rights activists to teachers and the ethnic Chinese." They still are. Personally, I don't see any reason to indulge that murderous lie, whether on the part of Suharto or the U.S.
Or to concoct an apologia for it.
