Indonesia's SBY in Trouble | Koran Online Indonesia: Berjuang Tanpa Kebencian

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is said by political analysts in Jakarta to be a major crisis, with his governing Democrat Party's fugitive former treasurer leveling charges of widespread corruption against top party members.

Political analysts say the scandal could affect the party's chances in 2014 legislative races, with Golkar and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, the next two biggest political parties looking forward to making inroads. Aburizal Bakrie, the billionaire tycoon who heads Golkar, has ambitions to replace Yudhoyono as president in the next election as well. The Democrats, who lead a ruling coalition of 314 seats in the 560-seat legislature, hold 150 seats against Golkar's 125 and the PDI-P, as it is known under its Indonesian initials, with 95.

American guns and Indonesian intolerance

t would be a rough comparison and some people might object to it, but it is interesting to match the gun control debate in the United States to Indonesia's problem of religious intolerance. Certainly, both cases exhibit differences.
