Military chief says nation not ready for democracy JAKARTA (JP): Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Djoko Santoso said Thursday recent election disputes which turned violent in some regions served notice that the nation was not prepared for democracy. Djoko told a press conference at the conclusion of a two-day TNI leadership meeting here the military was concerned about the conflicts, which he said could endanger national unity. "It (the conflict) is an indication, a sign, that we ...are not ready to practice democracy," he said. He was referring to ongoing disputes between supporters of candidates in the elections for governor and deputy governor in South Sulawesi and North Maluku. The election disputes have dragged on, despite the Supreme Court's intervention. While acknowledging that the political implications of the disputes should not concern the military, Djoko said the TNI bore the responsibility to restore peace. http://www.thejakartapost.com/detailgeneral.asp?fileid=20080124224318&irec=0 _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail®-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx
