Charismatic leader needed

Charismatic leader needed

In the name of democracy there is a sense of lawlessness
beginning to prevail in this country. The so-called international
community would do well to keep out of Indonesian politics; only
Indonesians themselves can really understand the complexity of
holding this diverse and scattered population together in this
amazing country. Surely, what is needed now is a powerful
charismatic leader with full military backing to achieve
stability and unity again.

The comments by Ichlasul Amal of Gajah Mada University (The
Jakarta Post, Aug. 12, 2000) made a lot of sense.

I must stand again by my previous statement: Why destroy one
of the most able men in the country by making him a scapegoat?
