...done enough to make Indonesia a stable and safe place. Separatist movements still rage, and her administration is brutally suppressing one of them in the western province of Aceh. Her response to the threat of Islamic militancy has been perceived in some quarters as indecisive, even following the deadly Bali bomb blasts and last year's attack at the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Jakarta.

The court's decision sparked concern about Indonesia's commitment to fighting terrorism. Visiting Jakarta last...
...then, the controversy over American engagement in Iraq has stimulated deep divisions in the international community. For too long, these divisions have overshadowed the broader tasks at hand and the reality that all nations remain vulnerable. Devastating terrorist attacks have occurred not only on American soil, but also in Bali, in Istanbul and now in Spain as well. The great question of how to stop global terrorism is still unanswered...
