Hinton in Australia emailed WHYS - The weasel words of Suleiman that Egypt is 'not ready for democracy' should be contemptuously dismissed. Suharto and his cronies continually used the same propaganda to justify their oppressive regime. Indonesians are doing quite well now with a genuinely elected President and representative parliament.
