...early 1950s the admiring Hendra (who is better known simply by his first name) joined Sudjojono in the cultural arm of the PKI, the Institute of People's Culture, referred to by its Indonesian acronym LEKRA. Sudjojono was to become its leader. "In Asia, art was integrated into nationalist movements," says Kwok. "Sudjojono was in the forefront of this...

"They came to power because of an agreement with the multinational forces, and they [have to] thank them for that. But the [long-term] presence of the multinational force will affect their [popular, nationalist] position." (Al-Mashhadanni's own party, the Sunni Tawafuq bloc, has the reverse problem; according to al-Mashhadanni, it secretly wants a long-term SOFA agreement - to balance Shi'ite power with a mediating U.S. presence - but has to publicly oppose it because of his party's platform against the presence...
