PMs Political Comeback

Editor,

Where is the need in a small Pacific island country like Fiji for grand dad politicians like Chaudhary and Qarase to make a political comeback when the world's most powerful country can be led by a 50 year old?
Remember he took office as President at age 48.

Unlike Prof. Walsh Crosbie I have no qualms over their criticism of the new constitution making and vote registration processes. (Fiji Sun 27/5 Crosbie's article ' Obstruction') That's their democratic right as citizens. But I am not sure they are being brilliantly sensible in trying to return to power - although I must admit that too is their democratic right.

Why would they want to return to power?
To serve the people of Fiji?
Or, to serve their political power addiction?
They do not regard themselves indispensable in the political governance of the country, do they?

They need reminding that better political leaders have come and gone.
They country will manage alright without them.

Yours sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
Sydney
