Arab Traders. It is questionable whether anyone else could do much better than Suharto at governing Indonesia -a diverse (more than 300 ethnic groups, dozens of languages) archipelago of 3,000 mineral-rich islands scattered over 3,000 miles of ocean. Just as it lured Arab traders and Dutch colonialists in centuries past, Indonesia today entices Western and Japanese businessmen interested in a financial killing.
