I also believe that Suharto will reform the political system and stop robbing the country. It will be snowing in Jakarta on the very same day :-) You may be right :-). The point was that even worse alternatives are possible. From what I can tell they do pretend to have something resembling (howsoever slightly :-)) an election there these days and alternative political parties (other than Suharto's) that are atleast legal. The military however has a quota in the legislature which is a strange system to have. Taiwan, Korea, Singapore had authoritarian systems from which they transitioned or are in the process of doing so. Not sure if that analogy applies to situation Indonesia or not. You probably can judge these things better since you have been considering a career there. :-)
