Gus Dur's objectivity<\/p>\n
From Rakyat Merdeka<\/p>\n
The raging rallies for and against President Abdurrahman \"Gus
\nDur\" Wahid launched by different groups with different themes and
\nmanners have proven that Gus Dur's current position is like \"a
\nstatue in a glass box\". People's opinion of him will depend on
\nthe side from which the view is taken.<\/p>\n
Only God the Creator can view Gus Dur in his entirety
\nobjectively. This does no mean, however, that the Indonesian
\npeople cannot assess him objectively. They can, but a process is
\nrequired. Despite the subjective means used by many of his
\nopponents all this time, Gus Dur persistently sticks to his
\nstance. Do not expect that he would be overwhelmed by the
\ntumultuous rallies.<\/p>\n
In order to communicate to and touch Gus Dur's conscience and
\nvalue him objectively to create harmonious relationship between
\nall elements in the country, \"love\" is needed. All components in
\nthis country should be patient, peaceful, generous, self-
\ncontrolled, modest, good natured, serene and calm and being
\ntransparent.<\/p>\n
