Paul Wolfowitz, US ambassador to Indonesia 1986-89.Some of the media have been predicting that Egypt will be like Indonesia.
Both have links to terrorism.
Where did the idea of al Qaeda come from?
Back in the 1950s, the CIA and its friends began using Moslem militias to do their dirty work in Indonesia.
In 2003, Australian academic Dr Damien Kingsbury wrote about the Indonesian special forces regiment called Kopassus, which has friendly links to Mossad and the Pentagon.
"Kopassus... set up the Islamic organisation Komando Jihad that hijacked the plane in 1981 and which has since emerged as Jemaah Islamiah." (We must not get back in bed with Kopassus - theage.com.au)
Former Indonesian President Wahid was saying in 2005: "There is not a single Islamic group ... that is not controlled by (Indonesian) intelligence."
'Demcocracy' in Indonesia is a bit of a fiddle.On 16 February 2011, the New York Times suggests that Indonesia's political landscape offers a path for Egypt
What happened in Indonesia after the CIA's 1998 coup against Suharto?
"At the end of 1999, the UNICEF Jakarta office stated that ... Indonesia will sustain a lost generation; a weak and feeble-minded generation resulting from malnutrition, lack of education, and unhealthiness." (Indonesia's foreign debt: imprisoning the people of ... )
How long before we get more clashes of civilisation in Indonesia?
The New York Times (a path for Egypt) reports on the 2010 national congress of Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party, which is linked to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
The congress was held at the Ritz Carlton's ballroom in Jakarta.
Among the keynote speakers was Cameron Hume, then the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, who praised the party, known as the PKS.
According to the New York Times: "Following the 1998 overthrow of the dictator Suharto, Indonesia looked a lot like Egypt now."
Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) wants the Koran to form the basis of law.
The PKS in 2009 got less than 8% of the vote but got four seats in the cabinet of President Yudhoyono, a US trained general.
The PKS was a key force behind Indonesia's 2008 anti-pornography law.
C. Holland Taylor, the Jakarta-based chairman of LibForAll Foundation, which promotes moderate Islam worldwide, says the PKS has been a key factor in the rise of a more austere, intolerant form of Islam in Indonesia.
After two separate attacks in February 2011 by Muslim mobs, in which people were killed and churches torched, a number of PKS leaders said the attackers had been 'provoked' by acts of blasphemy.
