Meanwhile in Indonesia

Meanwhile in Indonesia, where speculating about Florida ballots isn't an issue, Tommy Suharto is on the run, and his murderous father is going on trial. Indonesia has a massive Muslim population, a violent (and touchy) army, and a troubled history of ethnic violence; I'm continually worried that it's going to erupt into flames (again).

I wonder what else is going on in the world that we're missing today due to the HUGE attention being paid to the elections. Thank god for the BEEB.
