	Profile: Suharto
		Japanese occupation was indeed Suharto’s rite of passage.
		By 1945, Suharto was among the troops who rebelled against their Japanese master, and when the war ended and the Dutch returned to reclaim their colony, he fought with Indonesian guerillas against the Dutch.
		Suharto brought a large degree of unity to the multi-ethnic nation through shrewd political maneuvering and suppression of internal threats to stability.

	Asia Times: Still no accountability from Suharto
		Critics say Suharto should be investigated for abuse of power for these practices because under Indonesia's constitution, all fund-raising and tax collection from the public should be legalized by regulations.
		On May 29, Suharto was put under house arrest by the government, in a move that highlights both the public pressure for accountability for corruption as well as the difficulty that the government faces in trying to achieve this.
		Some also say the Suharto probe is affected by concerns about its effects on the economic stability of a country still reeling from the effects of the 1997 economic crisis.

	How did Suharto steal $35 billion? - By Brendan I. Koerner - Slate Magazine
		Suharto made only token gestures toward combating corruption, and they were largely confined to the first decade or so of his rule.
		Suharto was supposed to face trial in 2000, in relation to approximately $571 million he embezzled from the yayasans, but doctors ruled that he was too ill to withstand court proceedings.
		That article was actually somewhat kind to Suharto, in that it pegged his family's fortune at the relatively lowball figure of $15 billion.

	Good and Bad Genocide: Double standards in coverage of Suharto and Pol Pot
		Although Suharto's regime was responsible for a comparable number of deaths in Indonesia, along with more than a quarter of the population of East Timor, the word "genocide" is virtually never used in mainstream accounts of his rule.
		Suharto came to power." Note that Suharto is not even the killer, let alone a "great mass killer," and this "purge"--not "murder" or "slaughter"--was not "terrifying," and was not allocated to any particular agent.
		Suharto is not hoarding anthrax or threatening to invade Australia." The fact that he killed 500,000+ at home and killed another 200,000 in an invasion of East Timor has disappeared from view.

	Whitewashing Suharto
		While Hussein’s rule has been brutally repressive, Suharto is directly responsible for one of the greatest acts of mass murder in post-World War II history: the genocide that accompanied his rise to power in 1965.
		Suharto immediately organized a systematic slaughter of the ethnic Chinese minority, which was believed to be the main base of support for the Communist Party.
		The Christian Science Monitor actually treated the massacres as a heroic episode in Suharto’s life: During "a period of horrific attacks on communists and their supporters," Suharto "stepped into the vacuum," "instilled calm" and "took contentious politics out of the picture." "Suharto will forever be acclaimed for his actions during the crisis," the Monitor asserted.

		The left had been bloodied and driven from the political stage, and Suharto was determined to ensure that the PKI would never reemerge as a challenge to his authority.
		Suharto wisely averted a problem of many military regimes: the monopolization of the higher ranks by senior military officers who frustrate the aspirations of their juniors.
		Suharto's approach to political conflict did not reject the use of coercion but supplemented it with a rhetoric of "consultation and consensus," which, like Pancasila, had its roots in the Sukarno and Japanese eras.
