Kyi May Kaung's comment left on Irrawaddy site re.
Dr. Zarni's article, Bye Bye Democracy --
*
As Dr. Zarni says, "It's the system, stupid."
Military, Inc. is right!
We are already seeing more outflows of refugees in all directions.
How long will the international community be able to "hold its nose to kiss the generals" oops, no "discipline flourishing democracy."
Note -- it's no longer just "disciplined democracy."
Of course, it's all an oxymoron, which is moronic except for the power holders and those who wish to tango with them.
The only thing I don't agree with in this analysis is Zarni calling Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD "ineffectual."
They've already given us an alternative goal and and a dream to work towards, like Martin Luther King, what more do you ask?
The west should now try to save the lives of ASSK and the nearly 2200 political prisoners.
Happy Mother's Day, Mother of the Country and all Mothers.
May our children and grandchildren see better days.
