In the first few days after the tsunami decimated the west coast of the Indonesian province of Aceh, hopes were high on all sides that out of this disaster could come a resolution to the decades-long separatist conflict that has ravaged the province. Indonesia's newly elected President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, announced "a historic moment to unite & rebuild Aceh together." Already, however, such hopes are fading as political issues crowd in. What went wrong? Adapted from the source document.

A discussion of the use of "Asian values" as a political tool notes that Indonesia's President Suharto & Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamad have both advanced the notion of Asian values in response to Western criticism of their undemocratic regimes. Critics claim that Asian values are used to justify corruption/authoritarianism, & the "miraculous" economic boon was a mirage based on corporate accumulations, outmoded banking systems, & nepotism. The 1998 collapse of Suharto's long-time rule led to a period of democratization; however, ethnic & religious conflicts have generated concerns that free elections may result in violence. In contrast to the timid & confused handling of Islamic extremism in Indonesia, the government in Malaysia, where corruption & nepotism still dominate, has actively attacked extremist organizations while simultaneously criticizing the US & its allies for their failure to understand the root causes of Islamic terrorism. It is concluded that peace hides social & ethnic divisions in Malaysia while Indonesia's politicians have recognized the need to appeal to the center in light of the country's significant diversity.
