JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A general who faces a U.N. indictment for crimes against humanity and is partly responsible for a U.S. congressional ban on military ties with Jakarta was nominated today as presidential candidate of the party of ex-dictator Suharto. The decision to pick Gen. Wiranto, who uses only one name, was a blow to the political hopes of Parliament speaker Akbar Tandjung, whose second- place finish likely ends his career.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Indonesia's Supreme Court overturned a graft conviction against the parliamentary speaker on Thursday, a ruling that cleared the way for his presidential bid - and dismayed those looking for signs of anti-corruption reform. Akbar Tandjung, head of ex-dictator Suharto's Golkar Party, had been convicted of misappropriating $4.5 million in government funds. He would have been barred from running in the country's July 5 election if judges had upheld the verdict.

The economic and political crisis in Indonesia presents problems for the US and the whole world. A long-term economic downturn in Indonesia will result in major human suffering and undermine democracy in Southeast Asia. Indonesia is also at a crossroads when it comes to politics following the collapse of Pres Suharto's authoritarian regime. Thus, the country faces the daunting task of rehabilitating its economy and stabilizing its political system of government. The US must provide the necessary assistance to help Indonesia recover from the current crisis.
