Last Friday, President Yudhoyono, while officiating the latest war monuments in Jakarta, asked that all of us cherish and reflect on Indonesia’s military history, reminding us that while we may prefer “soft power”, we should also be “ready for war”.
Here, the three monuments were meant to commemorate our “struggles” with Malaysia, East Timor and the Dutch.
Some notes can then be offered here.
