Tis a blurry picture - Buddhist monks in Bender Arena, American University, during Aung San Suu Kyi's community meeting with area Burmese and Burmese-Americans - photo copyright Kyi May Kaung - BBC Hardtalk Host, Stephen Sakhur, was so polite to the general, whereas they are notorious for attempting to browbeat Burmese democracy activists. UK and USA are all for trade, and as regards their economic downturns, Canada and USA are going to share an embassy in Rangoon. So - Burma President Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi are both living in their fictions, or else knowingly mouthing this change rhetoric - it's a pity.
