Comment I tried to leave on Irrawaddy site -- after reading interview of Khin Ohmar --


Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in Kachin dress -- from Internet.


Thank you Ohmar, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and everyone who fights for democracy inside and outside Burma.

Daw Suu and all political prisoners should be released unconditionally. Their health should be properly looked after, including allowing them to seek treatment overseas. We all know the generals and their families have special hospitals and clinics and get their health care in places like Singapore.

The democratic opposition had prepared a Transition Plan already with great care, but now the junta's own actions have pushed it further away.

The UN should do more.

The junta by now knows well how to play the PR game, as we saw in 2007's Saffron Revolution and the 2008 non-response to Cyclone Nargis.

We all admire and love Daw Suu, U Win Tin, Min Ko Naing and the 1988 generation dissidents, comedians etc.

The junta can't go on with these Stalinistic type show trials, like those in the late 1920s in the Soviet Union, which killed all the leading intellectuals.

How "educating" as well as sad to live in times like these.
