I wish you and The Fix get off the air. Both of you do not make much sense and it appears that your main purpose is to destroy Antares. Yes, Indonesia is in trouble right now. The leader of the country is not likely to remain in power long, and when a new leader takes over it will be because it is the will of the common people in Indonesia. Anybody who takes over knows that business is very important for the survival of the country which has one of the very largest populations in the world. The major industries are not going to stop doing business in Indonesia. They are carrying on as usual. I think common sense will prevail in this highly populated country after Suharto is gone. We will just have to wait a little longer for some order in that country. In the meantime Antares will concentrate more in B.C. this year. Regards, Ray Fidler

Dear John, I think you are being overly pessimistic. No factions in Indonesia are anti development. If the opposition succeeds in deposing Suharto they will be o force for reformation, anti corruption and anti nepotism. The opposition demand democracy and good governance. Surely the main reason why investors (especially junior mining investors post Busang) are so wary of Indonesia is the distrust of the present regime. Logically therefore, we should consider the protest movement more positively if its aim is to obtain political change. The trend is not towards nationalization but towards more democracy and openness.
