Comment I left on Irrawaddy website -- don't blame the victim -- Daw Aung San Suu Kyi -- and the other victims --

Aung San Suu Kyi is another victim of the junta and the anti-sanctions and therefore pro-junta(who else will benefit most from lifted sanctions?)lobby mentioned in the article "Lay off the Lady" in the Irrawaddy, commenting on an article in the Economist.

Yettaw is also another victim of circumstance.

So are all the political prisoners and all the people of Burma.

To blame them is like blaming the birds and trees and everything else blown away by the storm, for the storm itself.

It's the junta who made Burma what it is, and is holding up progress, nothing else.
