Suharto was overthrown by mass demonstrations, replaced first by an eccentric guy called Habibe, then democratically elected leaders followed. IIRC the first was an elderly Imam, the second was Megawati Sukarnoputri (daughter of a previous president) and the current one is Susilo Bambang Yudhyono (SBY) who is a great guy - capable, qualified, educated, and appears to be honest too. I wonder where they found him.
