Is there freedom?

Is there freedom?

From Bisnis Indonesia

On Aug. 17, 1995 Indonesia will celebrate 50 years of
independence. In less than half a century of freedom, Indonesia
has achieved economically what has taken other free countries
hundreds of years.

However, during this 50 year period democracy is still in its
infancy. One example is the recent recall of legislator Bambang
Warih Koesoemo by his party. When a case like the recall of
Bambang comes up, one must pose the question: Is there freedom at
all?
