The age of Indonesian Democracy is only 10 years but we have already vote for Woman President(Mrs Megawati Soekarnoputri 2003-2004), also some times, blind man( Abdurrahman Wahid 1999-2003), that shows we play the real democracy, equality before the law. Its may be influence by the culture of Islam which is mayority in Indonesia, since Indonesia is the biggest Moslem Country in the World, bigger than Arab Country altogether. Islam spread to Indonesia by Trader from Subcontinent India, so its very peaceful, you know the trader or merchant need Peace. Not spread by swords

When we try to apply democracy, as USA did, suddenly right now we are very upset, for the hippocrasy, that many people here still ask the gender, religion and color that , I believe it was not base to the Constitution. And we know that the democracy here already more than 200 years

Finally, when Indonesia keep their integrity in their own land East Timor, American and Australian said: "Hei guy, HUMAN RIGHT ..HUMAN RIGHT. But , no body say nothing what happened in other region now
