That would almost certainly reignite the street protests that overthrew former President Suharto last year and usher in a period of renewed turmoil. On the other hand, the generals could opt for making a deal with Megawati, allowing her to take power, but within parameters defined by the military. Megawati?s father, President Sukarno, was overthrown in a military coup in 1965, which ushered in Suharto?s 33-year tenure.
