To be democratic is not always serve the US interests.
When FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) won the democratic
election in Algeria, US did not like it. In true
democratic Iraq, Shi'ites would be a dominant power.
With Iran in its backyard --believe me-- the US would
do everything to resist it.

too nationalistic? too leftist? .... I don't think it
is the case. As far as I concern, for the last three
decades, on the contrary ... Monetary system in
Indonesia, for an example, is "too open" so that we
can not control it.

As Nobel Prize Winner, Joseph Stiglit told us,
Indonesian people suffered hard because we are "too
cooperative" with IMF and World Bank.....

Another good example of domination and illegal

The point is: In what terms... What the Indonesian

I'm sorry. I can't be so naive. It's about National

in some points, but in some other points maybe we have
different interests....
