Indonesia's Former Prez. in critical condition

According to Reuters India, Indonesia's former president Suharto, suffereed from multiple organ failures on Friday the 11th, and the leading treatment doctor gave him only a 50-50 chance of living. Suharto, age 86, was the 2nd president of Indonesia and ruled for 30 years. During his presidency, a result of overthrowing President Sukarno's government, millions of Indonesian communists and Chinese-Indonesians were murdered. Atempts to try Suharto on genocide charges have failed because of his poor health. It looks as though Suharto is getting worse, and it is only a matter of time before he passes away. Burial arangements have already been made in thye Javanese royal city of Solo.
