TNI is all right

TNI is all right

The Indonesian Military (TNI)'s opposition to President
Abdurrahman Wahid's plan to dissolve the House of Representatives
is seen by some as an elegant decision in their bid to save this
nation for the sake of all people.

In this context, the military has again shown its neutrality
by not defending the President's will. The military's attitude
must not be interpreted as a maneuver to topple the President, as
alleged by Lt. Gen. Agus Wirahadikusumah.

If the President realized what the majority of the people
really want for this country, i.e. his resignation, and that he
has lost so much credibility and support after 18 months in
office, he would gracefully step down and be forever remembered
as the nation's father.
