Comment: Is Indonesia in danger of failing?

June 28, p. 6

Indonesia’s slight decline from 64th place in 2011 to 63rd in 2012 out of the 178 countries ranked on the Failed States Index 2012 recently was predictable and should not be exaggerated. (By Riwanto Tirtosudarmo, Jakarta)

Your comments:

Indonesia will most likely be a failed state due to leaders thinking they are smarter than the people and not looking out for the public interest.

Does Yudhoyono read newspaper comments like this? I doubt it. He must know we want radical groups shut down but he is too scared to do anything about it.

Do the people of Indonesia have to take justice into their own hands and hire a foreign legion to come in and go to war with radical groups?
