Aung Tun Thet's talk and interview in Chiangmai, Thailand

in Burmese -he's on the "advisory board" http://www.nmg-news.com/bur/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=415&Itemid=58 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzS6hrcQKeY&feature=player_embedded What use are these platitudes and generalizations from this self styled "sayagyi" why is the reporter just accepting every "wise saying" he says? Why did Payap U and Irrawaddy and Burma regime for that matter, give him "the time of the day?" So what's the "appropriate pace" of reforms and what are they? Never answered any of the Qs he posed himself. Waste of time and energy from a "san kone myay lay" (wastes rice and makes the world heavier) --
