Yeah, at the end of the day it's their own country that is losing - tourists stay away, no businesses will invest there, the infrastructure will collapse . I worked in Fiji for about 2 months last year, and three months in 2007 . Most locals I spoke to agree they've had enough of the coups, and most people think that you shouldn't get rid of a democratically elected government by having a coup if you don't like them! That's the whole idea of democracy - the majority of the popular vote decides who rules! And if you don't like them, well, that's a shame, but that's democracy . The only way I would ever advocate a coup is if there was a bad abuse of power or corruption in government . When I was there, I lost count of the number of people who would ask me about how they could get a job in New Zealand (as they knew I was from here) and I know they think the same about Australia too . Fiji simply can't afford to lose this number of educated people overseas .	Chikara (5139)
